It makes the electoral college redundant, which it is intended to do. This is a work around instead of a constitutional amendment to remove the electoral college because that would be very difficult. Landslides aren’t a bad thing if that’s what people want. I’m not sure why you phrased it as if they were. The ideal would be for national popular vote using an instant runoff system (single transferable vote or ranked choice voting). In lieu of that the next best is plain first past the post with popular vote which this would gives when it reaches the required number. Now that way no matter where you live in the country your vote will still count. At the moment if you’re a blue voter in a predominantly red state or vice versa there is no reason for you to leave the house on Election Day. Under this system your vote still matters so you have a reason to cast it. More importantly presidential politics stops being beholden to the wishes of a minority in a few swing states and now has to consider the wishes of the whole national population everywhere.
