This means that it’s possible for the Harris to win the congressional district including Omaha, and thereby obtain one electoral vote. If this happens, and she wins the Blue Wall states, she gets to 270 electoral votes and wins the election.

It has a first-mover problem: the states which do it effectively hand the presidency to the party that a majority of their residents don’t want to hold power.
That’s why the national popular vote interstate compact is built the way it is.
Surprise surprise, no red states in that compact unless I overlooked something. GOP being against the popular vote winner becoming President? Say it isn’t so!
Add Texas and Florida to that list and we’re getting somewhere.
