US 2000 Presidential Election With Proportional Representation By State

Map created by reddit user The_Lord_Of_Death_

The map above looks at what would have happened in the famous 2000 US Presidential Election if each state awarded it’s electors proportionally rather than winner takes all (with a few exceptions).

In reality, George W. Bush won the election with 271 electoral votes to Gore’s 266 despite losing the popular vote by over 500,000 people.

However, under this scenario Gore would have won 271 electoral college votes, Bush would have own 261 and Ralf Nader would have received 6.

You can read more about the 2000 US Presidential Election here.

What do you think? Would this system would be better than the current one?
