I think I now understand the US EC voting better now, except this one thing - I thought it was already done as Byron has suggested - that each electoral district represented one vote in the EC, and the party with the most votes in that district scored that vote.
From reading the preceding emails, it seems the state's total popular is everything, but then I can't see how re-districting has any effect. It's not like the line between OH and PA suddenly got moved. How does redistricting change the result at the EC?
Oh, and as a curiousity - does the EC actually meet - do representatives from each state actually gather in a room in DC and put ballot papers in a box?
Cheers Russell C.
