Actually, Maine and Nebraska already use the district system to divide their points. While in theory this might seem to weaken the state politically by making it a lower priority on the campaign trail, I would like to point out the states like Maine, Nebraska, and Colorado already get next to no attention as it is. Nebraska hasn't gone to a Democrat since LBJ and Colorado wouldn't have either without the exception of the first Clinton term. I honestly doubt that the more representative system would hurt any state that generally votes on party or the other and I even doubt that important swing states would suffer so long as a greater number of states followed suit so that a candidate had to fight for every single point he received rather than resting on his laurels once he was convinced that 55% of the likely voters in a state would vote for him.
