The measure would apportion Pennsylvania’s electoral votes among presidential candidates based on their percentage of the popular vote, instead of the current winner-take-all system. Two electoral votes would be awarded to the statewide winner.

I'd actually support this system if it were applied nationwide. Of course, implementing it in Dem States only is pathetic.

This will get defeated, right?

I would not support this idea even if it was in the context of being applied nationwide, because the net effect would be systematic disenfranchisement of urban voters due to "natural packing".

D'oh.  That's embarrassing.
