I don't like it. That approach eliminates the role of the states in a presidential election.

The Maine/Nebraska hybrid model -- where the winner of each Congressional district gets one electoral vote and the winner of the overall state gets the two electoral votes that correspond to the two Senate seats -- is probably the best model I've seen.

That would seem way too sensitive to gerrymandering to me. I like the statewide model much better.

I agree completely.

It takes the brilliant concept of the electoral college to the next level.

All of the states are free to do this now if they so choose.
