How can this idiot make this statement when it is followed a dozen sentences later by the Maine and Nebraska examples of divided votes? I would critique the idea, but the last part of the article itself actually makes all of my points rather well. It's a really, REALLY dumb idea, for all the reasons discussed, but especially because it would reduce the electoral value of the state down to a single vote. Worse than South Dakota....
