This is a STATE election that MAY affect a national office.We are talking about electors for the presidency. This is a national election issue and it is just stupid to try to pretend that it only concerns California voters.
In this, it is NO different than an election for a senator or a congressman.
Yes, letsLet's look at the map.
2004, current law:
Bush 286 Kerry 252
2004 CA proportional:
Bush 311 Kerry 227
2004 all proportional:
Bush 277 Kerry 261
Obviously not.Nonetheless, this would have been a beat down by Kerry, made all the more surprising by the fact that Bush won the popular vote.
Which is exactly why electoral votes should be allocated proportionally to the votes cast by the people.If the winner doesn't reflect the will of the people, that is bad.
