These would be the deciders of our election if we went by popular vote. People that couldn't be more different than the rest of the country.
They would probably have less influence under straight popular vote. That's due to the winner take all nature of the Electoral College. In the current system, the D nominee has 55/538 which is more than 10% of the total vote just by winning California. With strict popular vote, the D comes out of there with roughly a 6% to 4% lead.
That's before you adjust for changes in turnout and changes in candidate strategy.
