In MD, a vote under the Electoral College is worth 97% of a vote under Direct Election. By changing their EC allocation to reflect the DE model, MD will slightly improve its voting power - if all other states do too; changing their EC allocation without compliance by all other states, the dramatically left-voting state may very well produce right-leaning votes (yeah, that will go over well with residents).

They are trying this is 45 states contingent on enough states doing it to go into effect. This is another consequence of the last election. Dims took over many state legislatures along with the other shifts. They want mob rule as they own the mob and the media.

Very interesting numbers. Do you know what the methodology was behind them?
