Imagine if NPVIC had been operative in 2004: George W. Bush would have received all of California’s electoral votes even though John Kerry trounced Bush statewide by 10 percentage points.

You would think that citing this fact alone would put an end to this silly argument.

If the NPV advocates made any sense, or could discern any, yes, quite. In 2004 though, GWB won anyway, while Lurch spent election night trying to buy replacement medals on eBay.
