Nah, the states have the right to determine how their electors are apportioned.

The proponents haven’t really thought out the practical aspects, though. These measures will only pass in Democrat dominated state legislatures, which are primarily in the same states that the Democrats won anyway, so it’ll only come into play when the Republicans win the popular vote. And it’ll turn elections into unanimous Republican victories. I’m not sure that’s what they had in mind.....

“Nah, the states have the right to determine how their electors are apportioned”

On this issue that is what is being promoted. But for other amendments (such as the 2nd) the left wants strict federal intervention. It seems logical that seeking strict federal intervention on electoral procedures are also in keeping with a want of federal control of states rights as well.
