How about this: States that want to give up the Electoral College would stop electing Representatives, give up all of their seats in the House and give Nancy all of their votes.

How about this. Electoral votes are awarded by congressional district with the winner of the popular vote in each district getting that vote. Then the other two EVs per state go to the over all winner of the popular vote in that state.

As an example, let’s use Indiana. We have I believe nine reps at this time plus two senators. 6-7 of those districts go reliably republican so those six or seven EV’s go to the republican candidate, the others go to the democrat, but the state as a whole goes republican so those 2 EV’s go to the republican also. So of Indiana’s 11 EV’s 8/9 go republican, 2/3 go democrat.

If the democrats are really interested in one man/one vote this is the plan. With this plan people outside the big cities in NY, CA, IL etc. will have their votes count which doesn’t happen now, plus it would make it worth your while to campaign in at least every state, if not every district, because every EV would be up for grabs. My guess is they won’t be too interested.
