This means that it’s possible for the Harris to win the congressional district including Omaha, and thereby obtain one electoral vote. If this happens, and she wins the Blue Wall states, she gets to 270 electoral votes and wins the election.

Every state should allocate its delegates proportionally to how its citizens voted. It’s the most democratic approach. If just a few (5 to 8 key states) states did this, it would be very unlikely for mismatches between the electoral college and popular vote.
It has a first-mover problem: the states which do it effectively hand the presidency to the party that a majority of their residents don’t want to hold power.
That’s why the national popular vote interstate compact is built the way it is.
That’s how fptp works regardless tho
