I guess it's interesting that, as an empirical matter, neither Nebraska nor Maine appears to have drawn the maps to aim at a particular presidential result.

At the risk of repeating myself today: adding more representatives in the House would mitigate concerns with the electoral college and help with gerrymandering. The number of representatives was fixed 90 years ago, it is time to change that.

The primary downside therein is that any significant third-party vote means that the presidency is instead decided by whichever party has a majority of state delegations in the House, which again prioritizes gerrymandering over the will of actual human beings.

Given that the Senate is supposed to be elected by State legislatures who are in turn elected by the people of that particular State, that's less reassuring than it should be.

There is nothing "supposed" about it; the Constitution was amended via the process laid out in the Constitution. Senators are specifically *not* supposed to be elected by state legislatures now.

States with less people than the town I live in. Unite the Dakotas and make Wyomontaho happen.

Look no further than how MS elects it’s governor. And then consider why it was done that way. And then wonder about the Electoral College.
