It would need to be approved by Congress to be constitutional.
It would need to be approved by Congress to be constitutional.

Even if it were, I don't think it it's constitutional. Then again, I'm also convinced the way Nebraska and Maine divide their electoral votes by Congressional District is also unconstitutional.

Why would EV-by-CD in states without VRA district obligations be unconstitutional?

I'm of the opinion that the Constitution specifically mandates that the electoral college be awarded winner-take-all in every state and Washington D.C.


Then you are historically ignorant.  Not only was the current Maine/Nebraska scheme used in many States in the first few Presidential elections, but some States even created separate EDs to select Electors. It wasn't until the advent of political parties that the winner-takes-the-whole-state method became the usual one.
