270 electoral votes decides an election. If states whose electoral vote total equals or exceeds 270 throw their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner, then it makes no difference what the other states do. So even if remaining red states, for instance, vote Republican in a winner-take-all style despite a Democrat winning the national popular vote, the electoral votes of those red states have no bearing on the outcome.
