A simple solution: proportional allocation of electors from each state with 15 votes or more. Tom Send a noteboard - 05/11/2012 08:34:08 PM
Smaller states would still matter because they are winner takes all, but larger states would become more interesting, because all of a sudden Texas isn't just Republic, nor California or New York just Democrat. Florida would probably be less important because it's so evenly split, and Ohio would fade slightly. In other words, it would even out campaigns and force them to be national, without the terrifying thought of a nationwide recount or further erosion of the principle of a two-tiered (Federal) system of government.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
