Proportional Method

[minionofmidas]

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?

This would require an amendment. And why 10?

In 2004 Bush would have netted a cool 17 EV's gain from this method (there's no difference between Hare-Niemeyer and D'Hondt).

Not only does it not require an amendment, Congress could mandate a proportional system, just as it has mandated the use of single member districts and no at-Large seats.

I thought that was the SC? My mistake, then.
