“The FAIREST way to ensure that all votes count [down to the lowest levels of citizenry] is to award the electoral votes by district in each state. Win the district - win the one electoral vote assigned to it.”
Seems like a good idea. My state is a winner take all state. I especially don’t like the idea of states having open primaries also being winner take all states.
The only changes I’d make at this time is closed primaries and convince all states to have their primary on the same day.
Candidates who do poorly in early primary states often drop out before primaries in states where they might do better.
