While I said it in a lecturing fashion I wasnt really talking to you. I realize you probably understood this. However many, including some people ok this forum, either dont get it or try to talk around it.
We are always going to use the EC because changing it would take a constitutional amendment. That wont happen.
But peoples votes have never counted at the national level. They count at the state level. And in that regard everybodys vote indeed does count at the level in which it is recognized. The state.
The dialog which should happen to address your question could actually be addressed in 50 different valid methods. None of which require touching the constitution.
I dont know historically why we cant have proportional delegates. I dont know if its driven by a desire for a singular clean vote by a singular state.
Nebraska and Maine are the only states that proportionally allocate electoral votes. Even that would be better than winner take all, but that is something that is decided at the state level, yes.
