A few states made pacts that said they’d change their rules (split votes, etc.) if other states did, to award based on the NATIONAL popular vote. To my knowlege, no state unilaterally changed its electoral vote rules. IIRC, they’re still winner take all for each state’s poopular vote.

Maine and Nebraska both distribute one electoral vote per Congressional district and two at-large, but they've done it for a while and not as part of the current national popular vote movement. In fact that method moves in the opposite direction so that one city's ballot box stuffing can only affect three EVs instead of the whole state's number or even the whole nation in a national popular vote.

...poopular...

Based on all but the 2010 vote, your version of “popular” may well be the most accurate usage.
