The US constitution does not designate how states assign their electoral votes.
Without a constitutional convention, how can we amend our electoral process so 14 states (The battleground states) do not control the entire election for president?
Would declaring "Winner Take All" elector states an unconstitutional practice help?
I am of the opinion that eliminating winner take all would automatically ensure all states matter in the presidential election. The EC is fine; the way electoral votes are awarded is the problem. Democrats in Texas may as well not vote. Republicans in California may as well not vote.
Why is it OK for fourteen states to dictate the outcome of the presidential election despite who votes for who?
