Do you know when the States moved to winner take all? Honest question, I do not know. The Constitution provides for multiple candidates from the states.

The move to winner-take-all started with Andrew Jackson and the advent of modern political parties.

At one time or another, some 19 states used the congressional district method. Today, only Maine and Nebraska do so.
