Although this may sound “fair” at the outset, especially if your candidate benefits, second thoughts lead me to believe it is just another manipulation of the EC to turn it into a “popular vote”. If implemented nationwide, large population centers (read liberal cities) would own every election.

Untrue. Under this formula, blue states like New York, California and Illinois would split their electoral votes in such a way as to better reflect the total makeup of the state. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York City would no longer control the state's entire electoral votes.

You’ve opened my mind before, but IDK, I’ll have to think on this a bit more

I view most of those cities as I do several large cities in Texas, including Austin, so that’s where my viewpoint comes from.

Liberals abound in those cities but have not managed to worm their way into the electoral votes so far. If votes could be split, then whatever liberal schmuck is running would be able to water down the majority conservative votes.

Today's Data Point
Xao BaiDen enroute to Duluth with a "tender plane" \behind\ him.
If this is the bird carrying The Beast, it poses some questions.
Such as "Why behind Biden?" "Shouldn't support equipment and personnel be already on the ground?"
And last, "Is this a security decoy? Why?"
