If every state did it (which will never happen), then the electoral vote would essentially mirror the Congressional vote. The last time I looked, the Democrats lost a majority of the Congressional districts.

Careful gerrymandering could fix that, but it would require that Democrats first elect governors and state legislatures that would fix it for them. The last time I looked, the Democrats lost a majority of the gubernatorial and state legislative elections too.

The only thing that would fix the Democrats current problem would be a straight popular vote, so that the Democrat controlled urban areas could rule all of the stupid people in flyover country who don't know enough to vote for socialist candidates.
