I am not assuming anything about you or your opinion, BBB. I was expressing

I, too, am in favour of electoral reform. But I'm also pragmatical (or sneaky) enough to have second doubts when I find that a proposed solution will virtually guarantee Republican victories as far as the eye can see ...
Thats, as I literally wrote, the practical problem

What does it mean though if an actual calculation of the numbers show that the reform you propose would apparently skew the EC vote numbers even further from resembling the proportions of the national popular vote?
