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.

I LIKE the two party system. Stability and gridlock are good. Going by a % of the population only gives the fringe groups more power.
Sure if you basically agree with the fringe group it sounds good. I'd love to see more libertarians in congress, but it goes the other way to. I can only cringe in horror of a green (communist) + democrat unholy alliance, with the greens being the key to a democrat majority.
Government is best when its growth is stunted, its power crippled from birth, every roadblock is a blessing.
