No, but it violates Article I, Section 10, Paragraph 3 of the Constitution:
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, . . ., enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, . . .

Unless Congress has consented, the Compact itself is unconstitutional, and that calls into question any laws derived from it.

Assuming Congress would actually consent to such a plan, you may as well just have them propose an Amendment if so many states are so eager to switch to a direct vote for the President.
