As stated in other comments, it would be actually easy to implement as it doesn't require a change in the constitution.
Anyway, as I told in another comment, I'm not from the US, so my intention wasn't really to say how to implement the proposal. I just had this idea and wrote it down in a blog post.
- tunesmith 2y agoHow would you ensure that all fifty states adopt this approach at the same time?
- flopriore 2y agoYours is a very good point of view actually. I initially hadn't thought about the tragedy of the commons situation where all the states agree to implement it and later one state decides to go back to winner take all system. big-green-man wrote a good comment about that
- xnx 2y ago> it would be actually easy to implement If it is easy, why hasn't it been done. Do you think that no one considered this approach?
- flopriore 2y agoOk yes maybe "easy" isn't exactly the correct term, but the way to appoint electors in each state doesn't need a 2/3 majority in every house + 3/4 of the states as it happens with Constitutional amendaments. So it's definitely an easier approach
