"I like how this pans out... Maybe will go back to popular vote and squash these swing state campaigns and all the stupid news that goes along with it once and for all..."
A popular vote would be against the principals of the founding fathers. What should happen is every state should mimic Maine and Nebraska: Maine and Nebraska both use an alternative method of distributing their electoral votes, called the Congressional District Method. Currently, these two states are the only two in the union that diverge from the traditional winner-take-all method of electoral vote allocation. With the district method, a state divides itself into a number of districts, allocating one of its state-wide electoral votes to each district. The winner of each district is awarded that districts electoral vote, and the winner of the state-wide vote is then awarded the states remaining two electoral votes. With this method, a Republican can campaign in NY and CA while a Democrat can campaign in TX and SC. J - Mrs. Powel:"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
