I have argued for apportionment by congressional district for years,with the overall winner in the state receiving the other two votes that represent the senators.

Otherwise, my vote does not count diddly because I live in Md. Congressional apportionment more accurately represents the will of the people.

“Congressional apportionment more accurately represents the will of the people.”

Not true. Your own state has 8 gerrymandered democrat districts and 1 Republican (89% vs 11%) but Republicans get 40% of the vote. Republicans will only get 1 electoral vote, not 4 under your plan.
