Not sure about the Constitutionality of doing it via ballot initiative, though I think the Constitution is pretty silent about appointing electors.

I agree about that. The US Constitution is very explicit about the state legislatures having the authority to determine how electors are chosen.

Nebraska already does it this way. Not sure if they’ve ever had a court challenge.

I’m linking the whole thing.

Look at the county by county election results.

And consider them in context of there the big liberal cities are.

If a state delegates its power to the voters to make laws, that's its prerogative. As far I'm aware, no federal court has ever declared a state's resort to the initiative, referendum and recall unconstitutional.
