How big of a vote gap would it take for you to drop the Electoral College?

No.  I have already said that I do not mind the states getting votes based on seats in Congress.  I am just against the "all or nothing" allocation of EC votes.

But the existence of the House of representatives proves that the founders wanted each individual voice to be represented based on separate districts.  They did not make a rule that every representative from a state had to vote exactly the same.


So if we are going by the will of the framers we would have the EC but not the "all or nothing" allocation of delegates, correct?
