I love the idea of parceling electoral-college votes.
I live in a state (Maryland) where the political destiny is determined by three of 24 jurisdictions (Montgomery and Prince George's Counties, and Baltimore City) that overwhelmingly lean to one party while the rest of the state is much closer to 50-50.
It would be much nicer if, say, the electoral votes were split up by congressional district, with the winner in each getting that vote, and then the two that represent the senators go to the statewide winner.
