the method which almost the entire world uses in one way or another?
no it totally make sense that if a candidate wins a state by 50.1% then the votes of the 49.9% should go directly to the winner as well.
the fact that you can lose the popular vote and is win an election is fucking bananas.
winner takes all is extremely undemocratic.
That is not due to winner-take-all, it's due to the electoral college
does the electoral college vote proportionally
it votes for single seat positions. you can call it a winner take all or proportional or whatever you want, functionally it will be the same.
