you would see a bunch of gerrymandering .
like tom DeGay did in texas.
Yep. It would be [glow=color,glow width, #characters wide]WORSE[/glow] than that, actually, since
EVERYONE would try to gerrymander every possible district in the U.S. to favor one side or the other. Can you imagine the
process countrywide?
I actually did a variation on this method: Proportional Electoral Vote Breakdown- per Nebraska/Maine method (Congressional Districts won by candidate + 2 Senate votes to overall winner; ties broken by candidate with highest overall percentage). In my method, whoever won a majority of the Congressional District Votes wins the two Senate Votes, and the overall % is only used to break ties. A different flavor, if you will. In 2000, it was Bush the Younger 293-Gore 245, in 1996 it was Clinton 342-Dole 196, and in 1992 it was Clinton 326-Bush the Elder 212. Interestingly, neither Nader in 2000 nor Perot in 1996 and 1992 won ANY Congressional Districts...
