Richard, Is there a similar bill yet in Pennsylvania? I recall several years ago when state senator Mike Folmer introduced one – before he got busted for child porn.
I don’t think so, but it is tough for anyone to keep track of bills in all those state legislatures.
How soon before 435-538 EC gerrymander districts ???
Here is the link to this bill: https://legiscan.com/AZ/text/HB2426/id/2248054
Single-winner election districts = one-party system (in most cases) at best a two-party voting system
While, om the whole, I dislike single member district because they tend to create what I call a 1 1/2 party system, because most districts are gerrymandered to favor one party, and reduce any opposition to tokenism, and would prefer multi member districts, yet I recognize that in large states with a pronounced urban-rural split, such as PA and GA, choosing Presidential electors by district reduces the suspicion that some sort of chicanery is going on that could effect the overall outcome. Notice that no one is challenging the results from Maine, even tho there is a deep partisan divide in that state.
How many of these various state bills really are to elect a presidential elector within the same boundaries that elect a US Representative or do they just award the electoral vote that is associated with that district to the ticket that polled the most votes in the district? In other words, is the presidential elector going to be named and listed on the ballot just like a congressional candidate?
For NON- math morons —
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 gerrymander areas
= 1/4 or less CONTROL = OLIGARCHY
>>> always tending to MONARCHY — ie Stalin or Hitler types of MONSTERS.
Quite amazing that humans somewhat survived 1914 WWI – 1991 end of USSR — with the various killer monsters – Kaiser Bill – Lenin – Mussolini – Stalin – Hirohito – Hitler – Mao – Khrushchev – etc.

IMO, they SHOULD be named. But many states actually PROHIBIT the names being listed. *** Richard, your data & background on this ??? ***
For example, West Virginia §3-1-14. Presidential electors; how chosen; duties; vacancies; compensation.
https://code.wvlegislature.gov/3-1-14/
Electors of president and vice president of the United States shall be nominated as provided in section twenty-one of article five of this chapter but their names shall be omitted from the general election ballot, as provided in section two of article six of this chapter, to be voted on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November 1964, and every fourth year thereafter.
Now increase the number of Electors by a factor of 10.

last of 2012-2020 USA REP gerrymander maps — lack of detail in larger pop states.
every rotted line counts – to keep the minority rule gerrymander hacks in POWER.
Instant new gerrymander maps coming if and when 2020 Census data gets produced – esp with 10 plus million illegal invaders in many States.
See ME and NE REP/EC gerrymander districts — infecting how many other States ???

The states that still print the names of presidential elector candidates on the ballot are Arizona, Louisiana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Idaho. In 2020 the names were not on the Oklahoma ballot, for the first time in history.
Any footnote database of Prez Electors back to 1788 – winners and losers ???
