Two electors selected on a statewide basis (winner of the state), one elector selected per congressional district. It has worked flawlessly in Maine and Nebraska ever since it was implemented. Shenanigans of the St. Louis/Cleveland/Philadelphia variety are unknown in Omaha and Portland.

I don't quite get it? Two electors on a statewide basis? What's that actually mean? And how does that effect the one elector selected per congressional district?

Never mind. I just went and read up on it. I like that idea! It would definitely take care of the Philly issue.

If you notice the folks running for President don't spend much time in Maine or Oregon. They have succeeded in making their statewide vote mean-—nothing.
