Explain how you figure that. I didn't think we could change the Electoral College voting system without an amendment to the Consitution .. so why do you think this would end up benefitting the repubs more than the dems ..??

If the Republican gets the majority of the popular vote (as has usually happened since 1968), then California's 54 votes automatically swing to the Republican candidate under this proposed scheme. No need to campaign for them--just win enough votes, and they're yours.
