I know I saw results from the 2000 election that said that counting EC votes by congressional district + 2 for the winner of the state’s total vote still had Bush winning. Has anyone done something similar for 2016?

And, the Constitution gives the state legislatures absolute power to award electoral votes as they see fit, so I can’t see this going very far.

I havent seen one, but given the concentration of her votes, and the fact that the GOP won so many House seats combined with Trump winning most of the states, I’d say he would’ve had a clean victory.

‘I know I saw results from the 2000 election that said that counting EC votes by congressional district + 2 for the winner of the state’s total vote still had Bush winning.’

such a configuration would have tremendous impact on a state like Pennsylvania, or as they say, Alabama in between Philly and Pittsburg...18 CD’s 13 controlled by Pubs, 5 by Dems; instead of 20 EV’s for the Dems, they’d get 7 if they win the state...

2016 would not have changed, but Romney would have won in 2012.
