  10. IDEA Make the Votes Count Hot Button Issue: Big Government Idea: Start a Petition Process to take Michigan from a Winner Take All State to a Proportional Allocation State • County Level: Present Idea to other Tea Party Groups • State Level: Push For a State Ballot Proposal 2014 Mid Term • National Level: Move to other Winner Take All States Champion: Lawrence Brozowski Contact / Email: lawrence.brozowski@gmail.com

  11. A True Proportional Allocation of Electoral Votes • Scenario: Electoral votes are apportioned according to the popular vote, with the winner getting the "round up."e.g. A state with 10 electoral votes splits 53% - 47%. The winner gets 6, the loser gets 4. • Colorado came the closest to doing this back in 2004, but abandoned it for a pretty good reason - going to proportional representation in electoral college votes almost guarantees that your state will be ignored. (at the National Level) • Congressional District Apportionment • Scenario: Winner of each Congressional District gets 1 electoral vote, and the winner of the state gets the remaining two electoral votes e.g. Maine & Nebraska

  12. There are 9 states where the Presidential pick differs from the congressional delegation: • Colorado • Florida • Iowa (tied 2 – 2) • Michigan • Nevada (tied 2-2) • New Jersey (tied 6 – 6) • Ohio (12 – 4) • Virginia • Wisconsin • Interestingly, this exactly corresponds to the "battleground states" of 2012. • Using the Daily Kos analysis of presidential preference by Congressional District, we can get actual 2012 results: • Obama won 295 congressional districts, Romney 230 • Allocating state popular votes to Obama and to Romney And, allocate DC's 3 to Obama, we get... Obama loses to Romney 260 - 278
