The only thing I would like to see is the electoral votes awarded by district instead of by state. I am sick of Chicago manufacturing enough votes to award my EC vote to the Democrat every year.

I hear you. Same for Las Vegas/NV, Philly/PA, and every other state dominated by the Democratic-run metropolitan areas. It would surely break the power of those cities, but you'll never see the Pubbies do anything about it, even with a super-majority.

I'm in Illinois too Bob. I believe that Quinn won only two counties and carried the whole state last time. Hard to live with isn't it?

Imagine if every county (Parish in Louisiana) had one elector each. The rats would never win another election.

What you said. Only Maine and Nebraska do it the way it really should be done.

I agree. If you look at the county map during an election, most counties in California vote Republican, but the big city coastal areas always vote Democrat bringing down the rest of the state.
