3. It's an intriguing idea, but...
if one party had a majority of votes but the electors went to the other guy, there would be some very pissed off people in that state.

This could mean thousands of local recounts to see just WHO has the most popular votes.

Sounds like a bit of a mess to me-- I'd rather see the electors split along the popular vote, if anything.
