Not true. If candidate X wins Maryland by one vote, candidate X gets all ten of Maryland’s electoral votes. That’s winner take all. In a sense, you’re right about the national popular vote being winner take all; however, in that case, the winner take all would match the candidate who gets the most votes. That’s not true with the current system.
