States have the right to award their electoral votes in any manner they (the state government) decides.

They could make it strictly a decision of the state legislature and leave it at that, and as the populace does directly elect the state legislature that would be fine.

If enacted though this would completely eliminate the winner being based on the electoral vote process. Because with 270 electoral votes it means that the law of the land would then be that the winner is by popular vote. This completely negates the constitutions intentions. It seems like a form of collusion between the states involved in order to subvert the constitution. In that way it is kind of a bit like Rico.

“States have the right to award their electoral votes in any manner they (the state government) decides.”

What if the state legislature decides to cast its electoral votes only for the democrat candidate, regardless of the popular vote?
