How is this good for a state? Why would a state decide to vote however the rest of the nation voted? That seems like a tremendous abdication of a state's responsibility to participate in the process. I fail to see how that is good for the country (because it removes a possible dissenting voice that requires the majority to do some introspection) and it appears bad for the state (by surrendering their interests to those of the majority).
