I don't know about this year, but in 2000, it would have given Bush a 20 point or so bump in the EV total. There are many 90% Democrat districts in the cities, but almost no 90% Republican districts to compensate. Our votes are spread out among more districts.

Am I thinking right?

If one counts the congressional districts that each candidate wins, couldn't one count each congressman or woman according to the party he represents and add two to each state that each candidate won? In other words take the number of Republican congress persons and add two for each state the presidential candidate won.

Wouldn't that give us the number of electoral votes for each candidate?

I hope this makes sense. I can't explain very well what I'm trying to say.
