Applying that logic to only California and not other states like Texas produces a partisan result.
If all red states were to be winner-take-all in the electoral college, and all blue states were to split their electors according to vote percentages, that would not be more "representative".
- mikelward 8y agoAh, yes, I suppose the Democrats would gain Senators but lose Electoral College votes.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoI don't see it. Currently the Democrats have two senators from California. Do the three-way split, and Democrats have two senators from California-SF and two from California-LA, and the Republicans have two senators from California-EverywhereElse. Democrats gained two senators, and Republicans gained two senators. That seems neutral to me.
- mikelward 8y agoYou're right.
- angryasian 8y agosentors would technically be the same count. Currently California is +2 Dems In the new plan it would most likely be +2 Dems +2 Rep +2 Dems = +2 Dems So no new gain. Where it would hurt would be the electorate college. California has 55, now 1/3rd of that would go to Rep.
