Well since the *number* of electors alloted to each state is set by formula
at the national level, the entire voting population of the state couldn't
serve as electors. However, essentially the same end result could ensue in
each state if the state were to choose their electors proportionately to the
voting results in their state. The point I am trying to make is that, under
our form of government, the choice of how to select the electors is a state
decision. Any move by the Federal government to dictate to the states how
they do so is a major move towards greater federalism.

More than anything, it's gonna be very difficult to get states with the smallest
populations to go for the idea. Of course there is the whole amending the
constitution thingy. However, I'm game, if everyone else is--all 59 million or so
Amerikans.
