I would prefer that the electoral college be changed to two at large electors for each state and one for each congressional district like Maine and Nebraska.

Sorry, but I’m a little slow today. It’s already two senators per state and one elector for each representative district. How is what you’re proposing any different?

Sorry, I didn't explain. Two electoral votes are given to the winner of the whole state. Then one is given to the winner of each district. So Maine can be split 3-1 or 4-0. Nebraska with 5 can be split 3-2, 4-1 or 5-0. Republicans would salvage some EVs from the good areas of California.
