Key words being if they so desire. There's two States that split their EC votes and one of them didn't even change to that until 1992. So if you want yours to stop winner-take-all, try to make a change in your State.


What does turnout have to do with anything? It's not like we call Trump a more legitimate President because the voter turnout in 2016 was higher than both of Clinton's and the first W Bush's elections. The State has their say regardless of their voter turnout, the turnout is merely to guide what that State says. If you don't vote, you're cosigning whomever wins in your State because you didn't care enough to go out and vote otherwise.

This is a very disjointed message. I’m not sure what total voter turnout has to do with pointing out the flaw in giving Texas more weight for less voters than Florida.

I have to assume that every time a conservative rejects splitting electoral votes proportionately, it’s a tacit admission that it was never about state representation, just about supporting a system that works for them.
