Support. That would be a major improvement from the current system.

EDIT : However, it should be done nationwide, because if only certain States use that system it could actually worsen distortion between the EVs and the PV.

Of course...a national requirement on distribution defeats the entire purpose of the EC. Might as well abolish it entirely.

There would still be the +2 bonus for small states.  A voter in Wyoming would still have an outsized influence over the election outcome relative to a voter in California.  Bush would have won in 2000 under a system like this (likely with no need for recounts), because he did so much better in the small states than the large states.
