What does the "district plan proposal" involve for selecting presidential electors?

The district plan proposal involves selecting electors based on the popular vote in each congressional district. This means that instead of using a winner-takes-all approach, where the candidate receiving the majority of the statewide vote gets all the electoral votes from that state, electorates would be distributed according to the vote outcomes in individual congressional districts.

For instance, if a state has ten congressional districts, and a candidate wins the popular vote in six of those districts, they would receive the electoral votes associated with those six districts. This proposal aims to make the Electoral College system more reflective of the votes cast by the state's residents, as it allows for a more proportional representation of voters across different regions within the state.

The district plan is seen as a potential way to address some criticisms of the current Electoral College system, which often leads to states not fully representing the diversity of voter preferences. The proposal promotes a more localized accountability by aligning the selection of electors with the choices made by voters in their own districts.
