Reply #7: BTW - CA Republicans are proposing splitting our EC vote [View All]

So they are allocated among the various party candidates in proportion to the popular vote each receives.

Pardon the source but http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,291538,00.html

Maine and Nebraska already do that. If they all did, it would have the same net effect as the proposed NPV kludge being adoped by all the states.

Of course not many California Democrats would be willing to give up the huge power leverage the present system gives us. But few are candid enough to admit that they are motivated by a desire to keep or expand power rather than make it all more "fair".

The only reason California appears "solid blue" is because of the way we allocate EC votes now - Winner takes all. The state is far from solidly Democratic.
