If each state chose its electors by CD instead of having winner take all, it would improve the system a great deal. The reason is that candidates would have to visit more states. The direction in which we are headed is very bad, we could get closer and closer to the point in time where one party has a lock on the electoral college (probably the Republicans). Not that a CD system would be all that great, it would just be a step in the right direction and could be enacted without the lengthly process of amending the Constitution. In 2000 it was Florida. In 2004 it was Ohio.
Do you really want to give so much power to only one state??
I can't fathom how anyone could support the status quo.

Plus we are in a position where whole regions are all but ignored.
Democrats are ignoring the South more and more and Republicans are ignoring all but two or three 'blue' states, thus they are pretty much ignoring the Northeast.
