If each state gave a percentage of votes to each candidate then 3rd party candidates would also be entitled to get their fair share wherever they gain a good percentage.
The problem with this is in a close race it prevents one of the other canidates from reaching 270 needed and the race goes from the hands of American voters into the hands of the Congress.
Then Congress gets to choose from all 3, or more.
The only way to make the EC work is to get rid fo the fucking thing and allow EACH AND EVERY vote to count.
