#1 What the supporters also fail to acknowledge is that it undermines the need for 'states'. 50 redundant and inefficient administrative units, not to mention 100 ego based senators, could be nicely reorganized to squeeze out some major tax farming resources for a highly centralized government using regions or territories or provinces or other designation.

I am sure they would be unhappy if California voted for the Democratic candidate, but the Republican won the popular vote nationwide. California's huge electoral vote bloc would be cast for the Republican under this scheme. I am sure that they would scream that their votes were being ignored and they were being disenfranchised.
