I'm not sure about this. Two problems for California right now is that it is seen as a blue state so is on the shit list of the GOP, and that it is not a swing state so it doesn't get any influence during elections. If CA would award the electoral college votes proportional it would force both parties to take it seriously. It would also make each vote more meaningful and listen to the voters. It would obviously be bad for the democratic party, but good for the state and the people living there. And perhaps it would make other states take the same choice to be relevant again. Although some red states are becoming unintentionally relevant like Texas that is actually not a safe state this election.
