I agree.

I have been a big fan of this system for several years.

It would give Republicans a big boost in several states which Democrats almost always win because of huge majorities in limited big city areas: New York, California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Washington and Pennsylvania come to mind.

On the other hand, while Democrats would undoubtedly pick off some electors in generally Republican states like Florida and Texas, the effect would not be as exaggerated. This is because Republican strength is more diffuse in most Republican states, especially in the midwest and mountain states.

This plan is a huge net gain for Republicans and conservatives generally, and would force the Democrats to tear down their “psychiatric wing” if they want to ever be elected to any nationwide office ever again.

My thoughts exactly. The Democrats know what a danger a District Formula system is to their monopoly in California and they will fight tooth and nail to kill it. Even allowing Republicans a measly 22 votes is anathema to them. They believe only all the Democratic votes should be counted. Not the other away around.
