Although sounds good for conservatives now. How long until the proposal spreads across the country. I am not sure if I like this. Besides this will be null and void once the Democrats decide to use the popular vote instead of the electoral college.

Colorado voters defeated a Democratic-backed measure that would awarded the state's electoral votes to the nationwide popular winner regardless of how Colorado actually voted. In contrast, the California measure would just apportion electoral votes according to how districts vote and would award the two at large votes to the statewide popular vote winner. Its constitutional and its hard to see what is undemocratic about that. The Democrats just would no longer win ALL of California's electoral votes and the state would become competitive again for the Republican Party.

Under these scenarios across the country, the Republicans do better in all the cases for which I have seen it calculated. That is a good reason to expect it will not fly.

Nebraska and Maine already have used the District formula for decades. The states have absolute power to decide how to award presidential electors. All the Winner Take All system has got going for it is the force of convention.
