Should the Rules Used for Picking the President Be Altered? An Analysis of Two Current Proposals

At first blush, allocating electors district by district would seem to be a move very analytically similar to - indeed, along the spectrum toward - proportionality.

In addition, they have shown that a district-by-district approach, applied today, tends to disfavor the Democratic party.
