I’d like to see EV proportionally allocated.

It would mean the losing candidate picks up some EV in a state they wouldn’t otherwise win.

Watch liberal heads explode at the thought of a GOP candidate picking up EV in NY and CA.

A district EV vote system would accomplish the same thing.

My idea is an attempt to split the difference:

1) Winning a state is worth 2 EV (for the Senate - a fixed amount)

2) The remaining EV's are allocated by vote percentage (for the variable portion of the EVs.

“It would mean the losing candidate picks up some EV in a state they wouldn’t otherwise win.”

Take Minnesota (my state) as an example.

In the 2016 election, Trump would have won 5 electoral votes - 5 congressional districts.

Clinton won 3 and the overall statewide vote for a total of 5 electoral votes.

I think that a proportional system would hurt Democrats more than Republicans.
