I'm for it and it doesn't require screwing with the constitution.

The major urban areas have declared war on “flyover country”, there is no doubt remaining.

I think it would need to be two votes for the most votes in the state, not for the most congressional districts won. Obviously, each state is allowed to set up their electoral system as they choose, but I can't see them going with congressional districts for the state's two "Senate" votes.

My main concern with this system would be the application of recounts in the event of a close (or maybe not so close) election. Seem a candidate could select dozens of favorable districts with which to request a recount from, across many states. I'm sure the various voter fraud machines and the lawyers would be thrilled with this aspect of the change if it were done nationwide.

I believe after this last election all of California’s electoral votes go to whomever wins the nationwide popular vote.

Sounds reasonable and right.

And the 17th Amendment must be abolished as well as others from that dark period in America known as the so-called “progressive” era. The reality is that those laws were actually regressive, destroying what the enlightened Founding Fathers had put into place.

Check this out:

Personally I don’t believe their polls. They claim that in my state, SC, 71% want popular vote. No way!

Polling was done by Public Policy Polling, a RAT outfit. Go figure.

This would be a temporary fix at best.

Sound like denial.

Reality is, there's no way obama would have one if not for voter fraud.

Romney lost due to massive voter fraud, never said a word, and walked away a loser abandoning the nation to this tyranny. Suffice to say that romney was unworthy then and is unworthy now. Obama is worse.

We will never win another election with such a vote-manufacturing machine in place.

That is the reality.

Any article not dealing with this fact is not dealing with any means to win another election for real Americans.

Those maps...with all those red, rural counties....is why the DEMS in DC have suddenly started hyperventilating about gun control.....as they begin to recognize the implications for pay back of their voter fraud in November.

The only thing I think would make sense would be for each candidate to get the electoral vote for the congressional districts they win. Then with the 2 at-large votes for each state, the winner of the state popular vote would get one of those, and the winner of the most congressional districts in that state would get one of those.

I would also support returning a bit of power to state legislatures stripped by the 17th amendment and accept a plan that would have both of those at large electoral votes be selected by the state legislature. Their Senate would decide one and their House would decide the other.

That makes it consequential which way the state historically leans in elections.
