Question

In 2028, the Republican Party controls the U.S. Senate and

the Democratic Party controls the U.S. House of
Representatives. Each party hopes its candidate can win
the presidential election, giving the party more of a say in
the country's policies. It's a close race in the end, 51
percent of Americans vote for Republican candidate Ted
Torres. Former U.S. senator Rosa Marcus, the Democratic
candidate, receives 5 more electoral votes than Torres -
just enough for her to reach a total of 270 electoral votes.
According to the rules of the Electoral College, Marcus will win the election.
What adjustment to the Electoral College would change this outcome?

Answer 1

A. All states splitting their electoral college votes between candidates based on what percentage of the Popular vote won.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Torres has the popular vote he would have the advantage to gain more electoral votes, but even with than, it doesn't guarantee a win in face:

Democratic Popular vote comes mainly from the State of California, and the NorthEast Section of the United States, the rest of the state follow alone, to give them more votes, although this is happening Marcus could still pickup several states, and electoral votes, even if Torres has more votes, not to mention safe states.
