Alternative Electoral college distributions

[kindy64]

Since it comes up every Presidential election and it's a popular topic on a couple of threads, here is a website for those interested in alternative methods of distributing the Electoral college. Currently, Maine and Nebraska are the only states that don't do "winner take all."

I'm actually a fan of a proportional distribution of electoral votes based on the popular vote. It would take a good deal of the election power away from the big states.

Of course there are a lot of ways it COULD be done, but we have the system we have for a whole host of reasons, some of which are still valid. Are the concerns of say North Dakota, the exact same as Florida?

So here is one method, 1 point goes to popular vote winner per state, the remaining proportional to popular vote. Even then we get a squeaker. EC votes are 10th of a decimal to make the math work out. And none of them have the 270 needed for 50% of the EC. Maybe we could have a runoff after?

Trump 59,772,837 259.4
Clinton 60,017,405 255.6
Johnson 4,084,355 16.1
Stien 1,225,174 4.5
McMillan 449,190 2.1

I've attached the data for the spreadsheet if anyone wants to take a crack at it. Data obtained from here, it is a csv, even though the extension says txt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Sta...s_by_state
