That will only happen if a super gerrymandered state flips. E.g., Texas might go proportionate if their EC votes swing blue. Why? Because it's not impossible that Dems might win Texas's EC votes in the next 30 years but it is literally impossible for them to control the state government in that time-frame. However, in all the cases I can think of with that flavor, it's hard to imagine the electoral college remaining competitive even with gerrymandered states going proportionate.
So IMO, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is much more likely than the majority of states go proportional with their EC votes (and even that is highly unlikely).
