In Reply to: Statehood for DC posted by pictureguy on April 22, 2021 at 10:52:54:
between the democrats and republicans why not split the electoral votes into the new joining states such as PR and DC. a similar approach to Nebraska and Maine has.
All, but two states, electoral votes are 'winner-take-all'. The candidate winning the popular vote normally receives all of that state's votes. Maine and Nebraska have taken a different approach. Using the 'congressional district method', these states allocate two electoral votes to the state popular vote winner, and then one electoral vote to the popular vote winner in each Congressional district (2 in Maine, 3 in Nebraska). This creates multiple popular vote contests in these states, which could lead to a split electoral vote.
