I believe a fairer way is for all states to adopt the Maine and Nebraska model of apportioning Electoral votes.

The candidate who wins the popular vote in a congressional district gets on Electoral vote, and the voter who wins the overall popular vote in the state gets one electoral vote.

This would put states such as California and New York more into play, as it would swing states such as Florida.

Oops, brain fart. The candidate who wins the overall popular vote in the state gets two Electoral votes.

That defeats the point of maintaining a republic. If you want milquetoast GOP candidates that get trounced in the general the by all then go that way.
