OT: electoral college: Original post: Message 18764596 As I said there, I was talking about the allocation of votes in a proportional system, not the current system. So, for instance, California in 2000 gave Gore 54%, Bush 41%, Nader 4% of the popular vote, and Gore got all 54 of the electoral college votes. Under a proportional system, the electoral votes would have been: 29 for Gore, 23 for Bush, 2 for Nader. For the entire nation, Nader would have had 12 votes in the electoral college (which would have been the deciding swing votes), if the votes were allocated proportionally.
