Winner Take All

[Keith Broaders]

The Winner Take All method of allocating their states e;ectral votes in Presidential elections is unfair. All of the states except Maine and Nebraska award 100% of their states electoral votes to the candidate who wins their statewide popular election.

This sysem turns the election of the President into popularity contest and disenfranchises millions of voters.

Rather than having a statewide popularity contests in 50 states we should have a Presidential elections in each of the 435 Congressional Districts.

Each Congressional Districts should have their own  Presidential elector in order to prevent the tyranny of the majority.

The electoral college was created to prevent the large states and counties from completelydominating the political landscape. 

Every citizens vote should count equally, but with the Winner Take All system of allocating Electoral votes, only the votes received by the most popular camdidate are counted.
