I am IN NO WAY willing to give up any part of the Electoral College in deciding the election, however. Definitely NOT decision by national popular vote. No way, no how!

I'd consider the entire country changing to what Maine and Nebraska do: 1 EV per Congressional District and 2 EV per state.

But, I think it would require some standardization for drawing district lines, to reduce gerrymandering.

Both would require a Constitutional amendment, because CA, NY (and TX!) would never do it voluntarily.

There may be more equitable ways to apportion EVs within a state, but my main contention is that I DO NOT WANT 20-25 highly populated localities in this country deciding everything for the rest of this country.
