Fractional proportional allocation of electoral votes is a theoretical alternative to the winner-take-all system used by 48 states. In winner-take-all, all of a state’s electoral votes goes to the candidate that gets the most votes in that state. With fractional proportional, each of the top two candidates in a state receive a share of the state’s electoral votes, in proportion to the share of popular votes they receive.
