""This proposed California initiative is very dangerous – it is an attempt to tinker with state law in order to influence the outcome of national Presidential elections,"

Unfortunately, DiFi, the Constitution gives the STATES the power to determine their method of allocating electors. You don't have s**t to say about it.

Go ahead an propose your constitutional amendment. It won't pass either branch of Congress, much less the requisite number of state legislatures.

The proposed California initiative is a great idea--based on the same principle AS the electoral college, but applying to an individual state.

Until the 1840s, the winner-take-all system was not universal. It’s a product of the two party system
