I could also make a reasonable case that election strategies would have changed to more populist stances to accommodate for that.

Bush did say if the popular vote mattered he'd have campaigned in Texas. Changes the entire landscape.

And Gore in California, New York, hell the whole east and west coast (aka where voters live)

That's the whole point of this discussion
