Or we could simply get rid of the electoral college and say a vote is a vote.
Like as a compromise measure before getting rid of the electoral college delegates based on % is an improvement but how to split based on % would be very contentious. In a 10 delegate state does 52% 48% mean 5 and 5 or 6 and 4? What about a 3 delegate states. Maine and Nebraska do assign some to the state popular vote and one to each congressional district. But states like Wyoming and Vermont only have 1 congressional district that covers the whole state while having 3 delegates. Their state popular vote and congressional district popular vote literally can’t be different.
As I said a compromise measure. I’m good with compromise but there are more considerations to that which I haven’t seen addressed in these discussions.
A major one of getting it done state by state instead of all at once is if a large Blue state like California does the split but a large red state like Texas doesn’t do the split then the electoral college will only get further skewed instead of fixed.
