Sorry, but electors are discrete, as the Constitution requires them to be bona fide living, breathing human beings (although not in those words), so there's no way to split an elector. Exactly how one might convert the vote percentages into electors is a matter of some mathematical debate, much the same as the method of apportioning membership in the House of Representatives among the several States.

I understand that but a good arguement in court would be since they are being divied proportionately any candidate who gets a vote should get a portion of the elector pie.

This proposal is a mess and should be argued as such.
