Good morning.
While I support closed primaries, I don’t see any real value in winner take all when it comes to electoral votes.

The uninformed and spiteful believe that California is a giant blue state when, in fact much of the state is very conservative. Divying up electoral votes by district would, at the least show the rest of the nation that the blueness is mostly in San Francisco, LA, and some places on the coast. At best, it could deny Osama Obama or the Hildebeast a portion of our electoral votes.

There is a movement to do just that and both the GOP and DemocRAT parties are against it.

Thanks Michael. I know some people do support it. I can’t sign on to it.

Doesn’t ME and NE currently split their electoral votes up by CD and the at large [senator] delegates go to the statewide winner?
