Why is this shocking? Basically, they are saying "the risk of our vote being overruled if it goes against the national majority is worth it to see that our vote *isn't* overruled by other states if *we* support the candidate with the national popular-vote majority." Naturally, most of the states that adopted it were Democratic-controlled states because after 2000 it seemed the Republicans had an Electoral College advantage in case of a close national popular vote. Actually, that is by no means clear, but that's another matter...
I guess it's a mindset thing. I, for one, don't want other states determining the outcome of the election in my state.
