What is in question to me is that can a state disenfranchise its own voters by awarding its own electoral votes based on votes from other states or the total popular vote...
1. There is no right to vote on the federal level. States are not required to even hold elections in the Electoral College.
2. There would not be a de facto disenfranchisement because their citizens would still be voting in the election to determine the Presidency.

The states vote could go to candidate B and Candidate A wins the popular vote and hence the state awards EV's to the candidate that the state did not vote for... I call that a disenfranchisement
It is also possible that the next time the state houses turn over that the bill gets repealed.
