Anyone else want to see more states adopt something other than a winner-take-all allotment of electoral votes? Here in Pennsylvania we’d be about evenly split. I wonder if splitting our electoral votes would moderate our politics.


It would unquestionably help republicans. The problem is that the collective models highly favors small states. So even if large states agree to split their votes, small rural states will still drive the count.


Honestly, the right thing to do is go all the way and just elect the president by popular vote.
