I like it. Every four years, instead of running ads, people spend billions lobbying state legislatures to sign weird rules for how they will assign electoral votes. No one knows who the swing states will be until Election Day. Maybe not even until December 17. That would be a fun supreme court case—what happens when Florida passes a law that changes electoral vote assignments, after the election is held but before the electors meet?
I don’t know if this would be good for the country, but it would certainly be good political entertainment.

Edit to add: please ignore my last sentence. @ChristianKI reminded me we definitely know that would not be allowed.
