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)
When a state is gerrymandered to favor one party that party will have more sway in the EC. I think inevitably ends in disaster.
See my reply #26. It’s very lopsided to Republicans for the time being. But it sounds fair. I’d never expect the Dems to agree to it. I’d just want to hear them rationalize opposing it.
