Editorial: Electoral vote scheme deserves to go nowhere
While I often agree with the Spokesman-Review, and often do not agree with Matt Shea, in this case, I think Matt Shea is quite correct in his porposal, and that this is in fact how the founding fathers intended the electoral system to work. If this procedure were in place nationwide, it would certainly change how campaigns are run, making every district important, and not just a few big states; and that could change voting patterns, for which reason speculation as to the effect on the previous election has no bearing on future elections. I remember this topic being discussed 45 years ago, and I took the same position then. - C. S.
