Vote counts will still be reported at every level, but electors will all cast their votes for the national popular vote winner.
It will be easy enough to note which states' vote counts favor candidate B, despite the national popular vote favoring candidate A.
As parent says, that's the design, but I'm sure there will be upset people in those states.
