Alternative Choosing Of The Governor Electors- Part Three

 

Alternative Choosing Of  The  Governor Electors- Part Three 

These electors are publicly voted, on a direct popular vote basis, by registered voters in each locality.

Every governor elector will receive electoral votes as follows. The population of a locality as per the latest census is divided by 50,000 (Fifty Thousand) and then rounded up to the nearest whole value. That whole value is the base number of electoral votes. After that each locality is allocated an additional two electoral votes to that base number of electoral votes. The additional two electoral votes means each locality is symbolically represented by two officeholders (state delegate/assemblymen and state senator) in the state legislature. 

For example, Bath County Virginia has the population of 4307. So when its population figure is divided by 50,000 and rounded up to the nearest whole value, that figure would be one electoral vote. After the addition of two electoral votes, Bath County Virginia would have three electoral votes for its choice of governor elector. 

Another example is New York City, New York. Their population is 8.27 million. So when its population figure is divided by 50,000 and then rounded up to the nearest whole value, that figure would be 166 electoral votes. After the addition of two electoral votes, NY,NY would have 168 electoral votes for its  choice for governor elector.

The Governor's role and responsibility is more executive than the Vice-Governor's. Therefore its election must be more population-based. The population factor must "carry greater weight" and must be more emphasized than in the Vice-Governor's election. This can only happen if there are more electoral votes in total assigned to all localities in a governor's election than electoral votes in total assigned to all localities in a vice-governor's election. More electoral votes in total means population-based mode is more emphasized.  This is because each locality has less of the same voting power with other localities than if there were less electoral votes in total. 

Cliff Notes Version: This is another way of having the Governor electors chosen. All eligible voters of a locality directly choose that locality's elector for this position. 

While all localities are represented by one elector, the more populated the locality, the more electoral votes its elector has in choosing the Governor.

Electoral votes are allocated as follows. The population of a locality, based on the latest census, is divided by 50,000. Then that resulting numerical figure is rounded up to the nearest whole number. Two additional electoral votes are finally provided to each locality's total of electoral votes.
