re: #68 Dark_Falcon

Were such a plan put into place in a state where the congressional districts were not gerrymandered, it would have a good number of things to recommend it. Emplaced alongside gerrymandering, its just another form of screwjob.

Even without gerrymandered congressional districts, it would still suck — all the sparsely populated states (which are already disproportionately represented in the electoral college) would still be winner take all, and the big states with big cities would have their bloc votes diminished. If Cali went 33-22, or NY 19-10, then the Dakotas/Wyoming/Alaska would outweigh either of them even with such drastically smaller populations.
