What is the Proportional Vote Plan intended to reform?

The Proportional Vote Plan is designed to reform the Electoral College system used in presidential elections in the United States. This plan proposes that electoral votes be allocated in proportion to the percentage of votes each candidate receives, rather than the current winner-takes-all approach used by most states.

The intention behind this reform is to ensure that the election outcome more accurately reflects the voters' true preferences. Under the current system, a candidate can win the presidency by securing a majority of electoral votes while losing the nationwide popular vote, which can lead to significant discrepancies between the overall electorate's wishes and the final outcome. By implementing a proportional allocation of electoral votes, the Proportional Vote Plan aims to give a more equitable representation of the voters' choices across the country, making every vote count equally in determining the president.

This plan contrasts with approaches that focus on other aspects of the election process, such as Senate elections, statewide voting procedures, or campaign funding regulations, which are not addressed by the Proportional Vote Plan.
