Bugt, even bigger picture..

This should scare the hell out of those Dems Crying to eliminate the Electoral college..

If “blue” states like NJ, MA. NY all of a sudden start spitting their EVs between R and D. based on % and not all or nothing for 50%+1.

It’s a very different ball game

I’ve argued repeatedly (since high school) that the electoral college shouldn’t be 50%+1 — it should be 50%+1 for each Congressional District. As it is, the swing states generally determine the outcome of Presidential elections and the candidates (rightfully) spend most of their time in those states. Moving to a CD-based model would put all states in play. A Trump-like candidate would get between a third and half the EVs in many blue states.
