Under a "winner-take-all" system Democrats in Tennessee are not motivated to vote in this Presidential election because we can't win.  But if the margin of victory determined how many electoral votes each candidate wins then every vote would be very important.  Even if it is impossible to win the popular vote in a state all the people on the losing side would have the satisfaction of knowing that their votes actually counted toward the number of electoral votes.

I like the idea of a tiered approach (or however it's worded) where the percentage of the electoral votes goes towards each candidate. I know I just worded tha thorribly. Basically, if Trump were to win 50% of the vote in PA then he gets 50% of the electoral votes from PA and Biden gets 50%. I am aware some states do that already, but i don't see why all can't. Would make it more fair, IMO.
