Two states split their electoral college votes this way: Maine and Nebraska if I remember correctly.

I don’t disagree that this is how each State should do it, but each State has the right to decide how their electoral college votes will be completed so....
***************
States are allocated electoral votes by the number of Congressional Districts in each state, plus an additional two for each Senate seat.

I contend the intent was to reflect the mood of the country, at the time of the Presidential election.

In the past voters could not get to the polls, because of hardship, or being unavailable to vote in person (sickness etc.).

The turnout in large urban areas always carried a lot of clout.

Think voter harvesting, fake absentee ballots, people being paid to vote, peer pressure, people voting more than once, no voter ID, and people voting the names from a list of homeless people, dead people, and no shows. This is easy in areas where people don’t know each other.

How many elections are decided by ballots in large urban areas that suddenly appear at the last moment, and just have to be counted, in order to carry a race that is close.

With winner take all, every vote counts, even fake ones, and provisional votes.

If electoral ballots are allocated by the vote in each Congressional district, the cheating in large urban areas would be erased. Candidates would have to campaign throughout the US rather than the swing states, and large metropolitan areas.

The Dems want states to allocate electoral votes per the national tally, but only becasuse of the chaos they have created in California and other blue states.

With California and other blue states awash with over 100 percent of the population registered (dead, illegal, madeup, homeless that have moved on, and non-residents), the remaining population in the US are disenfranchised.

In fact, currently the rural areas, small cities, and towns are disenfranchised with winner take all (think more than 100 percent of elegible population voting).

Bottom line:

Federal elections (Presidential, House, and Senate) need to be federalized with required voter ID.

Paper ballots need to be required.

Absentee ballots should issued only if a valid reason for not being able to vote in person early or on election day is verified (and issued only upon presentation of a valid id).
