I think this is a bad idea, no matter the "good intentions" that may, or may not be, involved.
I agree with Free Bird. When you start messing with things like the EC that was so carefully thought out, you do not know the unintended consequences. Best to leave it alone. Even if this makes sense, you know the libs will find some way of making it mean THEY win. Somehow. All their thinking is spent on malevolent Machiavellian plots.
