Whereby their electors go to the Presidential candidate with the most popular votes....

Then, if in Maine, why even bother and vote for Pres?

For starters, your vote is still included in the NPV totals.

One theory is that this will INCREASE voter turnout, bc every single vote becomes relevant in picking POTUS. For example, a Republican in California (or a Dem in Texas) might vote under an NPV regimen, when his vote would have been pointless under a pure EC regimen.

I think NPV is bad policy, but it is silly to argue against it without bothering to understand it.
