Agreed. Short term gain, but I think electoral votes should be allocated by district. Here in CA that might result in a dozen or more voted for the Republican, instead of 54 for the rat every time. Studies show that the results in recent presidential elections would generally have been the same, but such system is more just. After all, in 2020, Trump got more than 6,000,000 in CA, but it didn’t benefit him a bit
Just a bit of inside Nebraska: It’s the only state with a Unicameral (one house) legislature. There are 49 “senators” who paid $12,000 per year. They can only serve two 4-year consecutive terms and sit out 4 years before returning (a ballot in Nov. will determine whether this will be extended to 3 terms).
A very efficient system that minimizes politics (senators are theoretically “non partisan”. Which explains why other states haven’t adopted it.
