You go, Nebraska

Donald Trump's Election Proposal Resoundingly Rejected by Republicans

The Republican-controlled state legislature rejected the procedural motion by 36 votes to eight, blocking what one GOP state senator described as "the last chance to pass winner-take-all this session.

 All the states should be like Nebraska (and Maine — Maine does it too) instead of the other way around: Nebraska (and Maine) casts all but two of its Electoral College votes by district, and not by state (the prevailing "winner take all" approach).

Since congressional districts are determined by population, following Nebraska's (and Maine's) example would make it near inevitable that the electoral and popular vote results would match every time.
