Another problem with a national popular vote is disputes. With NPV, you’d have to recount the whole country. In 2000, we only needed to do Florida. If, as I suggested above, it went by congressional district, then the recount need would likely be limited to one or two districts.

Had Florida adopted proposed legislation to allot electoral votes by district, Al Gore would have won the presidential election even though he lost most of Florida's congressional districts. The only votes that would have been in doubt prior to a recount would have been the two allotted at large per state. They would have been irrelevant.

Had the Congressional Distict Method [CDM] been in effect nation-wide, Bush woulda won 288-250.
