@farmerman,
Mc posted several Amendments including the 12th which describes the "Tallying" of all the electoral votes. What the constitution is silent about is how those votes are presented by each state on EC voting day.
The 12th Amendment sounds perfectly rationale for its time ("The runner up will be vice president" (You do realize we dont do this anymore. So sometime, ago, it already had been modified by some fashion.
The "Winner take all" proviso became policy in several stages after the US Constitution was ratified in total. Its a dumb thing and it should be altered IMHO. In 2016 if proportinality of the votes had been followed and each state reported its electoral results in that fashion, Hillary would have won by only a few votes and while California voters would have been disenfranchised, so would those in Fla and Texas, clearly still "RED" states. BUT, it would have gone to get rid of the horrible socia;ist method of tallying votes .
As Stalin said," Its not the voters who decide the election, Its those who COUNT THE VOTES who determine the outcome of the election". Weve employed a Stalinist electoral procedure without knowing it.
