It would have a negligible impact on electoral votes. It might take 1 EV away from Oregon and give it to Idaho.
The reason that congress would fight it (if they choose to) is simply to send the message saying "sit down, shut up and keep quietly getting fleeced you silly sheep". Though, doubt it will even come to that as the state legislator will be screaming that message to stop anything from happening.
