I would say have a regular simulated EC, the results of which would match those of the popular vote, but try to do our best guess to determine who should win each state after the results are in.

Well, it would depend on how much of a landslide it is. If the GOP wins a landslide, or the Dems win a landslide, they would cut into the base states of the other party. Also, it would depend on where the presidential and VP nominees are from, too. For example, if the race is reasonably close then Supersoulty should win Pennsylvania even though it would lean slightly Democratic otherwise. Likewise if I were to be the nominee and I don't lose in a landslide, I hope I can count on Michigan. Wink
