In response to "Let's flip it by a small amount of voters -- he loses -- yet wins a 450+ EV landslide because only the Democratic states are doing this." by Will Hunting

EV margin is irrelevant though in that scenario because the popular vote winner will always win under NPVIC. -- (edited)

And not that it would make a difference in practice anyway, a two-EV win gets you the same power as a 200 EV win

I guess Will's saying if you have GOP-controlled swing states with EV voters who don't comply with NPVIC then the GOP candidate wins - Max Sep 27, 13:39 1
- it only takes effect when the participating states have > 270 EV. Result is then popular wins so I'm not sure I'm understanding the downside - oblique Sep 27, 13:41
