The Republicans ought to present a plan that each county gets 1 vote based on popular vote of the county. The winner of the most counties, wins the election.
I’d prefer that we do it on a congressional district basis.
For example, Minnesota has eight congressional districts.
Even in bad GOP years, the Presidential candidate will win at least 2-3 districts.
One electoral vote for the winner of each district plus one vote for the overall winner in the state.
Instead of being swept every four years, the GOP Presidential candidate can actually walk away with something rather than nothing.
The same would happen in states like Virginia or Washington state.
Or congressional districts. Each district awards one electoral vote and the states popular vote determines the two senator votes. Put every congressional district and state in play. In that way democrats can’t just cater to the big cities.
Of course, none of that matters if the democrats get to count the votes until they win.
I like that. Take Illinois. Almost all the counties vote red, except for the ones up in Chicago in the big cities.
This would also have the effect of forcing the Dem that had relied on those one or two blue counties to actually campaign in the red counties.
CA will immediately create counties 1”x1”.
