I like the concept and have tried to promote it whenever I can.

Also known as the “Proportional Electoral College” it keeps the original intent but makes even the bluest and redest of states in play (you can pick off a EV-s in states that were once written off and will make local organizing more tempting).

States such as TX, NY, WI, MI, FL, TX, etc. will no longer be a “slam dunk”. POTUS candidates and local groups will now have an incentive to get involved and simply not give up....wow, what a concept, more people getting involved with the system.

For those who want ammo against the NPV, go to these links.
