In addition to bolstering the Republican electoral count, the new electoral vote award method would help to more closely align Presidential and Congressional campaigns and political loyalties. In effect, there would be a little less political deadlock in DC because Presidents would be more likely to carry Congress and have political supporters there when elected.
Yes, and it would be much better than National Popular Vote Compact (NPVC).
I’ve been arguing for this for years.
The ‘point of sale’ for this method of electing our Presidents is that it enfranchises lots of voters whose votes would be otherwise ignored. Republicans in Massachusetts, New York, Illinois and California have essentially no voice in the outcome of national elections. Similarly, Democrat votes in Alabama, Wyoming, Montana and Mississippi are essentially meaningless when it comes to national elections. The scenario proposed by the author resolves that imbalance. The conclusion of the article is also correct: to work, ALL the states must agree to use the Congressional District method to determine the winners in elections.
Just my 2 cents ...
