3) It gives small states undue influence in Presidential contests: Idaho gets 4 electoral votes and California gets 55 votes. However, a truly proportional system would give California 87 electoral votes (using the total votes cast in the 2000 election). The small states already get sufficient extra-representation in the Senate - they don't need this added bonus; You are free to move to Idaho, Wyoming (or Florida) if you want to have undue political influence... And you know to change any of this requires a constitutional amendment. You are free to pursue that approach as well. Good luck and let us know when two thirds of the states ratify the new constitutional amendment.
