Thank you for your detailed research and a great post. I hope this thread continues and people will look through some of the links you offered.

What you have shown is supportive of what I think is an important change we can all work for on a local basis. That is to reform our individual states into proportional allocation of electoral college votes as Kansas and Maine do. It is the current 'winner take all' system that allows democrats to control national elections with fraudulent vote conducted exclusively in urban areas.

Under the proportional allocation model, the state gives two of it's votes (equal to it's Senators) according to the over-all popular vote return. But the electoral vote in each congressional district is awarded by that district's preference.

A good example is the battle ground state of Pennsylvania that gave 20 electoral votes to Obama. Had the vote there been allocated proportionally, only 6 districts would have decidedly gone to Obama.

Moving to proportional allocation would be a way that citizens could against congress designing their own safe districts during census reapportionment. I don't know if an national change to this system would have changed the election. But, it would have made every vote count as opposed to so many of our citizens falling victim to taxation without representation.
