re: Maine joins unConstitutional National Popular Vote states

Whereby their electors go to the Presidential candidate with the most popular votes....

I have always felt that a true modern fix to the Electoral College would consist of:

2 votes for the winner of the popular vote of each state
1 vote for the winner of the popular vote in each congressional district

That way the vote is balanced between large states and small states. Also, it gives more candidates an incentive to run nationally instead of just 5 or 6 swing states.


California would get 54 votes, and depending on the Republican and Democrat dilution of the districts and the make up of the other 52 votes could be split 40-12 based on the current elected Representatives.

Same would be true in Texas. Texas has 38 Congressional Districts and is split 25-13.

I am just using congressional district makeup as an example, that doesn’t mean the voters could vote for a Republican Congressman and still vote a Democrat for President or a Republican for President and Democrat for a congressman.
