"proportional awarding of electoral college votes" Yes! Sounds like real democracy! Sounds like people's votes in a National Election having VALUE. Having a half dozen states determine the election undermines voter turnout everywhere.

Best idea of the day, Mary.

Allocation within each State

All States, except for Maine and Nebraska, have a winner-take-all policy where the State looks only at the overall winner of the state-wide popular vote. Maine and Nebraska, however, appoint individual electors based on the winner of the popular vote within each Congressional district and then 2 "at-large" electors based on the winner of the overall state-wide popular vote.

While it is rare for Maine or Nebraska to have a split vote, each has done so twice: Nebraska in 2008, Maine in 2016, and both Maine and Nebraska in 2020.
