A revision to the electoral college system?
First, I politely request that Strange Famous and Endymon32 refrain from posting on this thread.

I think that the current all-or-none system for statewide electoral votes unfairly favors a two-party system. A "third party" has very little chance of winning any national election if they can't pick up a few electoral votes in each state, rather than having to win entire states.
Is the current system in any way fair representation to those who are apart from the two major parties? What sort of downside would there be of allocating electoral votes based on percentage of the popular vote in each state? (i.e. if Nebraska holds 20 electoral votes, and candidate A gets 20% of the vote, they get 4 electoral votes)
