All or Nothing en Under the present system a e . e presidential candidate who re- @ plurality of a state's ar votes gets all of the e's electoral Votes. It works het way regardless of whether he leads his opponent by 1,000,- 000 or by 10 votes. In 1044 President Roosevelt wom all of New York's 47 clec- torel votes when he received 3,- 299,809 popular votes to Govern- Dewey's 2,977,855, Mf the electoral yote had been counted ip proportion to the pop- uler vote, Mr. Roosevelt would hawe hed 24.68 electoral votes ond Mr. Dewey 22.32, a margin of » little less than 2 1-2 electoral « instead of 47 Governor Dewey won Kansas’ eight electoral votes when he sptured 438,237 popular votes to 285,020 for President Roosevelt. Under the proportional system, Dewey would have received 430 and Roosevelt 3.20 electoral votes.” Because of the prospects that be can capture the state's big block of 47 votes, a New York rovernor is traditionally consid- ered @ prominent possibility for a presidential nomination. If the electoral votes of the state were on ® percentage basis, the wnor’s prospects of being a presidential choice would be con- siderably diminished 20-Year Battle Representative Lea has been battling for his proposed change for 20 years. His suggested am- endment would abolish the pre- sidential electors but the states would be entitled, as they are now, to electoral votes equal the number of their United States senators and representatives. A house judiciary subcommit- tee i considering the proposed miment. Representative Rob- (R. Ky), chairman of the subcommittee, says there is con- iderable support for it. He says it would result in a larger vote being cast in states which nor- mally were regarded as shecahds | Republican or Democrat, because | minority votes would feel their | votes would count. Mr. Lea says the present sys- tem makes for “an unwholesome concentration of efforts to win! the deubtful states while the other states are on the side- lines in a presidential contest.” 1 Rep.
