Winner-take-all was a solution that was supposed to fix the Presidential elections that resulted in a tie which sends the Presidential election to the U.S. House.


Unless the vote goes to the US House where a minority-in-majority could disregard the election results and put in the candidate of the party that is in power in the House.

Lipstick on a pig. The Electoral College is the problem that needs to be eliminated.

I still say the problem with the Electoral College is not the EC itself, but the winner-take-all methodology for awarding a state's electoral votes. EC votes should be awarded proportionally. For the top two vote getters nationally, you then go state by state. If a candidate A receives 46% of a particular state's popular vote, they get 46% of that state's EC vote, candidate B gets 54%. Then you total up the states. A candidate still has to reach 270 to win. As long as we're talking about changing the EC, there is no reason you also could not change person "electors" to just a simple count. A state can then proportionally award 46.26% (for example) of its electoral count to fairly account for an uneven percentage. That also eliminates the problem/possibility of "fake electors".

It solves all the problems. Every vote by an individual counts toward a vote in the EC (unless you vote for a nobody). When totaled up, the EC proportionally reflects the actual national popular vote. It takes away the power of big states to control the election, but still gives them their fair voice. It reflects a broader national consensus and gives fair voice to those in smaller states. Candidates must campaign and address issues in all the states to reach the winning 270. It's actually fair and faithful to vote of the people across the land.

If we awarded proportionally in this manner, only 1 Florida electoral vote in 2000 would have been in dispute, instead of all 25. Gore would have won in 2000. Hillary would have won in 2016.

Nobody will like this, though. I know it's not going to happen. But it would work and it would be fair. Who wants that?

Winner take all is the problem with the EC. Proportional vote allocation by popular vote, not congressional district, state-by-state is the answer.

Ah hem..........Where are the amusing political cartoons?

We're taking down the heat after this weekend's tragic events.

I give it a day. That ridiculous stuck-on 4x4 bandage is too hard to resist.
