It is my understanding that many states already divide their electoral votes like this. Giving some votes to one candidate and some votes to the other.Two states do, Maine and Nebraska.Technically it is a more accurate way to implement the electoral college to insure the college works as it was originaly intended. Because right now, the electoral college isn't exactly working as intended. I mean if you look at a map of the districts Obama won vs the districts Romney won, there are very small blotches of blue and about 90% of America is red.But most of the people live in those blue areas.The blotches are the big cities though, which was exactly what the electoral college was supposed to prevent.The electors are elected by popular vote. That means the population chooses it's electors.I can see though, support the college when it works in your favor, trash it when it doesn't. Flip flopping, though wasn't started by Kerry, sure did catch on quick with the left.I am not flip flopping.Read my last post.The Republicans are the ones trashing the EC because it is not working in their favor.Most of the people live in urban areas, and they tend to vote Democratic.They want districts with lesser populations to have more say than those with larger populations.
