It's actually super stupid for the GOP. Ohio is slightly more R than the national vote so in a close election like 2000 it gives the Dems 4 extra ev and probably hurts the GOP the majority of the time.

I think the CD method presents a "one person, one vote" challenge. Legislatures can allocate electors as they choose but this provision was enacted before the 14th amendment. The idea that someone can win more electoral votes in a state while getting 44% of the vote seems ripe for an equal protection violation.
