I'll diffidently point out that a common law on the books of these several states that avoids the electoral college will be subject to, and probably destroyed by, a Supreme Court challenge. So, IMHO, it's wasted effort. If you can get all the states to agree, why not make it an amendment ? THEN it's OK by The Supremes and everyone.
The NPV does not avoid the electoral college. It simply changes the way that those states allocate their electoral votes, which they are free to do and have done many times before. Therefore your point is moot.
