Or, at least a Republican assemblyman or two is thinking about it. They've introduced legislation to award California's presidential electoral votes by Congressional district. Yeah, as the article suggests, that has the effect of spotting the GOP about 15 or so votes.
But is it unfair? Hardly. The president is not elected by popular vote. In many ways, the Founders expected the president to serve as a head of government and only nominally as a head of state. It's up to the California legislature and, ultimately, the California voters and, as much as I dislike the idea of giving the GOP a leg up, this ain't wrong.
