So, are you saying that this bill would apportion each state’s electoral votes, within that particular state, to each candidate according to the percentage of the popular vote within that given state?

Also, unless that particular state has a mechanism whereby each county within the state only has so many electoral votes, then the major population centers would, once again, control the electoral votes of the whole state - wouldn’t it?

No.

When states with a combined total of at least 270 electoral votes enact the National Popular Vote bill, the candidate with the most popular votes in the country would get the needed majority of 270+ electoral votes from the enacting states. The bill would thus guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes.
