The larger the house the more reflective of the popular vote it is.

In theory. What you're doing is you're further negating the "plus 2" of the Senators. If you wanted to drive it even closer to the popular vote, you'd take the current Electoral College and do a "minus 2" from every state. Not a lot of people would like that. You'd see the 3 electoral vote states go from being 1.11% of a majority required to win to 0.46%.

The worst thing about the current Electoral College as far as making it less reflective of the popular vote is it's "winner take all" in 48 of the 50 states. If you win California by 1 vote or by 4 million votes, doesn't matter, you're still 20% of the way toward a win either way. If you want to closer reflect the popular vote, let's ditch winner take all.
