“Pennsylvania was considering doing this some years back. It would have meant that the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh regions going democrat and the rest of PA going republican.”

As a lifelong PA resident, I was, and still am so PO’d the PA wasn’t brave enough at the time to do this proportional district based system!!
Republicans had the Gov, Senate, and House, yet they wouldn’t do it-—IDIOTS!!!
PA didn’t go to proportional elector allocation because the media would have lost huge amounts of ad revenue, and would have been out for blood on the legislators.
Currently, PA is a swing state, and gets lots of ads at election time. With proportional allocation, Philadelphia would always go Dem, the rural part of PA always Republican, and there would be no point in spending on ads to change it.
