A good idea but I think we need to do it across the country as I advocated here:

There is no way to get states like CA, NY (where I live) to do this except through a constitutional amendment AND there is no way to get this done but through a constitutional convention (because Washington, D.c. will never go for it).
Now there are some arguments on my post that a con-con is not a good idea but I am thinking that if we have the majority; how can we lose? Why is it a bad idea? But, maybe I am wrong about this....
We don’t need a constitutional convention to achieve this. Each state has absolute power to allocate its electoral votes. We won’t get it done in every state. In fact, we don’t even need it in every state. There are some states that are already locks for republicans. We need to start fighting in the difficult states, and this is a legal way to achieve this.
States already have the right to apportion their EV’s as they see fit. R’s control nearly 30 state legislatures.
Doesn’t matter if CA follows suit or not. Just getting started changes the game in a way that benefits voters.
Voters in conservative rural districts are disenfranchised by WTA rules that allow the urban districts to control the EV.
