To clarify I would still support this if it was nationwide (which it’s not) but I’m more than happy in doing it in a few states to help us win and not even considering doing it in Texas or any state we easily win statewide. States get to choose their own methods of dolling out E votes. Dems don’t like it? Tough.
If a really liberal state ever did it (Cali rejected something like this that was on a ballot initiative) that would be GREAT.
I predict that even after this lockout, hockey is gonna get more popular.
“Dems don’t like it?”
Then it must be good. Count me in.
Sure, we’ll do it in TX—when the Dem legislators adopt it in CA; we’ll do it in GA if they adopt it in NY; we’ll do it in MO if they do it in MN; we’ll do it in TN and IN if they do it in NJ, etc.
I think that a fair method would be to allocate one EV per CD carried and then have the two extra EVs go 1 for the candidate who wins the statewide vote and 1 for the one who carries the most districts (and if there’s a tie in the number of CDs carried, that EV can go to the tied candidate with the most statewide votes).
