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.
Since when has CA had a majority of REPUB votes ..??
Even though most of the state is RED - the Blues (the minorities and elites) are in the cities where the population is more dense - and that's how they win elections. I've seen the state demographics .. it's really stunning. We are being held captive by a minority - probably most of whom are not even citizens.
