1 congressional district = 1 electoral vote.

Not perfect, but balanced by population.

Concentrated fraud won’t throw an entire state.

This is the way I would go too.
1 district= 1 EC vote
Can be modified for overall statewide winner = 2 EV(for senetors)
Rest of state goes by district
MUCH MORE FAIR SYSTEM—

I've said for a long time that I like that approach on a nationwide basis.

My preference would be to have this implemented in conjunction with a very important change in the allocation of House seats: House representation should be based on the population of U.S. citizens, not on the overall population of a state. I believe California would lose 4-5 House seats if districts were organized this way. It makes no sense to have House districts where an enormous part of the population isn't even legally entitled to vote.

It already is balanced by population. And no gerrymandering either.

“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.”

My thought as well, as previously expounded here and elsewhere.

Just check out PA with it's 20 ECs and 19 CDs: CD 1 and 14 represent Philly and Pittsburgh - the two that usually send the whole state into the Democratic column. If they are reduced to one each, it doesn't matter how many bogus votes they come up with, they can no longer sway the whole state. Even with gerrymandering, they are still stuck with one vote. Doing it this way gives the conservative rural areas a voice and breaks the back of the cities' power.

Worse yet, look at Nevada (^ EVs), where CD 1 controls the whole state. This is fair? (The meme to push when advocating the change)

one electoral vote by congressional district - LOVE this idea!

Really, you know all those references that say America is a slightly right of center Nation? Your suggestion would show this to be true.
