IMO the proportional method should be used in states with 10 or more electoral votes.  Would it be Constitutional for Congress to pass a bill making this change or would it require an amendment?  Also, would either party support such a measure?  It seems more likely to me to have more Republican support simply because Republicans win most of the small states and don't depend as heavily on large ones like California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois.

A better alternative would be to divide the 'house' EVs proportionally and then add the two 'senate' votes to whoever wins the state. (of course, this wouldn't be perfect in small states.)



That why I chose 10 as the cutoff.
