I believe the real reason the electoral college (EC) was set up was to give the little states some footing against the larger, more populated states...

Otherwise, you'd have New York, Florida, Texas, Illinois and California being the only states deciding who's the next President/Vice-President - all the time.

Now, if California goes the route of splitting the ECs among the represented parties, evenutally, if the rest of the nation follows suit, the electoral college WILL be disolved.

The electoral college was formed to counteract the effect that the large states had by the majority vote-getter getting ALL the EVs (electoral votes) of that state.

By splitting the EVs up at the state level, the EC will soon become a moot point, just like Hillary Clinton demanded following the '04 election. (Or, didn't anyone remember that?)

Oh well...another election season coming...batten down the hatches mateys! We're in for a real rough blow!!!
