Have you looked at a county by county map recently?
Imagine if you 'democratized' Maryland and Pennsylvania? I won't even get into New York or New Jersey.

Where would the demos counter? Florida? Please. Texas?

This would kill the DNC.

Can anyone figure what the electoral votes would be for each candidate if all states divided their electoral votes this way?

Actually just doing this in CA would make winning the presidency a near impossibility for the Dems.

CA is worth a sure 55 for the Dems now. Diving this by pop (not what is proposed I know but I'm too lazy to find the exact results), would have given Kerry 30 and Bush 25.

The county by county map is immaterial. Congressional districts are apportioned by population, not by county. Here in Illinois, Cook County has half of Illinois' 19 congressional districts either inside it entirely or comprising part of them. The other half are the rest of the state, with some districts having a dozen or more counties in them.

This would kill the DNC.

You bet. If just three of the states you named did this, the Rats would have to completely overhaul their party just to get back in the game, let alone win.

This would increase the effectiveness of the Electoral College, to the Rats dismay.
