Nice, so as long as the ultra blue states like California and New York and Illinois pack their ballot boxes to get those numbers up, the other states can ride those national numbers and effectively get around the electoral college!

Exactly.

The smaller states become marginalized by California and NY; especially if the states (who changes the law like Maine) vote one way, and the overall popular vote goes the other way.

Of course, and when these states have 130% participation in election voting, they'll raise hell if anybody asks why. I would have absolutely no issue with being a faithless elector in this scenario. I imagine there would still need to be electors, I have no idea though as Democrats once again try to wipe their collective asses with the constitution.
