    I think the idea of awarding a state's (or district's, in the case of Washington D.C.) electoral votes according to the popular vote is a bad idea. The District of Columbia always votes overwhelmingly Democratic. If a Republican had only a very slight lead in the popular vote, then the D.C. electors would be awarded to the Republican. Do you think the Washington, D.C. voters would be happy with that ? They'd be FURIOUS and rightly so. I'm a Libertarian and will not vote for any of the possible Democratic or Republican candidates.
