Frankly, all states should use the proportional approach. You want the vote from a district, you pay attention to the people there to earn it. No flyover country. Every district has the same number of citizens. Every one is worthy of having its vote included. The two state elector votes should come from the state government. That's the point of those two votes in every state. A fully proportional approach would muzzle the popular vote idiots. We don't need mobocracy from the big cities to the exclusion of more sparsely populated areas.

The issue was on the ballot in June 20008 or 2012. Didn’t pass-waste of time even though it would of helped.

To clarify, the "district" in my example is a Congressional district as designed in the Census with an equal number of persons represented by a Congressional representative for that district. You earn the electoral vote by winning a majority of votes from inside that district. I'm not advocating proportionality based on the gross popular vote percentage. Strictly by Congressional district.
