I like the proposal of dividing electoral votes based on congressional districts with the majority winner in each state getting the two additional votes for the senators. It would give conservatives in Illinois, New York and California a valid say in presidential elections. It also allows liberals in Texas and other GOP strongholds an equal say.

What you suggest destroys the founders wall against democracy, placed in the constitution to prevent the tyranny of an agitated majority over the minority.

They saw the danger of an out of control press.

That's a great idea!

Let's test in out in the 20 states Hillary won.

If it works, maybe in 40 years, we can think about implementing it in the other 30 states.......maybe.......
