You're right, it doesn't require a constitutional amendment, because the state legislatures are free to devise any method they wish to choose the President. But this method would eliminate the concept of states voting for President qua states. The candidates would have to campaign in every congressional district and make promises to the constituents of every congressional district - that's untenable, probably, but it beats having them pander to California and New York and the other big states like they do now.

Keeping the two votes per state is a reasonable idea. Ben's asleep, I'll ask him tomorrow. I should be asleep now, too.

Zzzzzzz.
