It could still matter, since the electoral college would seem to bias voting turnout. If your state historically votes 90%-10% for the two major parties, then you're inclined to skip voting if it is a minor or major inconvenience. If suddenly all those votes start to matter a lot more then you would see higher turnouts and possibly shifts between the parties.
