Suggestion: That the Electoral College be modified (as it has been in a couple of states) for EACH Congressional District to get one vote, based on the majority in that district, and each state in which a majority is given to one candidate or the other, gets two votes based on Senatorial representation.
That way, the election of the President remains a representive vote, measuring the relative popularity in EACH Congressional District and on a state by state basis, without this nonsense of a popularity contest nationwide, where there are pockets of fraud. The pockets of fraud will be limited in effect, forcing a district-by-district and state-by-state campaign, with no single political entity able to control the national vote total.
The current policy of “winner take all” for each state leaves open the potential for something like Florida 2000, when the state totals came down to a few hundred votes separating Gore and Bush. MOST of the Florida precincts went for Bush, so there would have been a divided count on the total number of votes for Florida, but the total would have still favored Bush.
This does not require ANY action by the US Congress. Each state legislature would choose the method by which the Presidential electors were selected.
“The current policy of “winner take all” for each state”
These are state policies, not federal, this is one element of a republic of independent states with sovereignty.
The only problem is that doing it the way you suggest would be resisted by the party having the edge politically. Why would the Dems in CA or the Reps in TX agree to a system that would split their electoral votes and in essence, decrease their influence on who gets elected? Maine and Nebraska have decided on a different way to allocate their electoral votes, but they really are not that significant in terms of their impact on the election process.
