Firstly, Abruzzi welcome to the board !

Secondly, you can find a analysis of Presidential election results by downloading this report ( it is in acrobat reader format). It details all election from 1952 to 2000 if they were done by the method you were suggesting.

What would change in the CD method

1960:
Nixon: 279
Kennedy:250
Ind Dem (Byrd): 5

(No defections)

1976
Carter:269
Ford:269

As for 2000 Bush would win by a larger margin 288-250
