It falls to the individual states. The states that will honor this Executive Order are states that vote red anyway. I don’t think this will have much effect.
Interesting and a little off subject that there is nothing in the constitution requiring a popular vote for president. The states can choose the electors any way they want to. The legislature can appoint them or whatever.
