26. It also increases the incentives for Gerrymandring.

Redistricting would then be a full-fledged national political game.


I would, however, support an apportionment of all but two (who'd be pledged to the plurality winner) of the electors according to the popular vote in the state. In California, that would mean someone who gained 2% of the popular vote would also win an elector. It'd put California and New York and Texas back into play - big time.
