In the case of an NPV election, the "state winners" would be absolutely worthless and would probably only be used for statistical purposes. Campaigning would be different, low-population states like ND and VT would be totally ignored in favor of larger states like TX, CA, and NY. Medium-large states like VA, MI, PA, and MA would probably be targeted too. It would be interesting to see how the results would play out, as it wouldn't be totally worthless to campaign in a state that's safe for the other party (there's definitely untapped potential for a Republican in MA in places like Plymouth and Worcester counties; states like TX probably have untapped potential for a Democrat).
Yeah, that's understood. That's why I asked the question.
