re: #152 KGxvi

But I’m wondering if the system might be better if States awarded electors proportionally (with say at 10% minimum). That avoids the problem of gerrymandering that we’d see if more states did like Maine and Nebraska and awarded them by Congressional district. It also gives Democrats in Idaho or Mississippi and Republicans in California or New York a reason to vote. I’d have to play around with the numbers over the last few cycles to see how much of a difference it would make.

You’re in luck, because someone went ahead and did the work for you :)
