Post your electoral map

They really need to split California either by district or into a north and south. I don't think that would affect anything (I don't know, tbh) but having 55 votes come from one state is a little excessive. You win California and you're 20.5% to president.
They need to just eliminate the electoral college altogether and go by the popular vote. It is ridiculous that the candidate with the most votes could lose the election due to where their votes are concentrated or due to a faithless elector.

I think going this route would put the Republicans at a disadvantage. Their voters are less concentrated so reaching them (in person) would be more difficult.

This.

If we do away with the electoral college, candidates would have absolutely no reason to ever go to a rural area or state. Hit the big cities and forget the rest.

That said, it still boils down to 3-4 states getting all the attention and who cares about the rest. Not the best situation.

They already have that disadvantage in swing states and there are plenty of large cities with enough Republicans to fill up a venue.
