Conservative states produce virtually everything that Democrat states need to survive. If they abolish the electoral college, red states should leave the union, then jack up export prices.
No they wouldn't. If they seceded, they may as well go on to take over the rest of the country, because that's about as illegal, and you'd need the guns and resources to stop a re-occupation anyways.
New York, Los Angeles, and San Fran cannot survive without constant inputs of resources (in particular, water) from Republican-held areas. In effect, if one could hold the line, it's either a quick death at the hands of Republican militia, or a slow and painful death as people die of starvation, disease, and thirst.
Wouldn't that require the approval of 2/3rds of the states? Not going to happen.
And considering this would alienate many of the small states, including those that are run by democrats, it isn't going to fly.
