In the current system, electoral college votes are apportioned to each state based on its U.S. Congressional delegation — one vote for each senator in the U.S. Senate plus a vote for each congressional district. In these alternatives, each state receives one vote per senator, and the remaining 436 votes are proportionally calculated1 based on each state’s data.
