No, it would disproportionately benefit the largest States. For example, 1/52nd of the vote in California would move one Electoral Vote - or about 2%. You would need to move 1/9th of the vote, about 11%, in Colorado to similarly pick up an Electoral Vote. In Alaska, that would be 1/3rd. It would clearly be much more profitable to campaign in California than in smaller States under such circumstances. But of course the whole point is that we vote for a president as individuals not states. There is no rationale in modern america for the electoral college. The interests of states is protected by the Senate and to a lesser extent the House. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
