Commentary On Elections- Part Sixty-Seven

All federal and state electors should be chosen by electoral votes rather than by direct popular votes.

The candidate for gubernatorial elector who obtains the majority of electoral votes in a state senate district becomes its elector. The governor presides over the administration of state agencies that affects the entire population of the state. Therefore the governor's functions are considered area-based.

The candidate for gubernatorial elector who receives the most popular votes per locality district in the entire state senate district wins the electoral votes assigned to that locality district. Each locality district in the state senate district is allocated electoral votes based on its population. If a locality district has less than 10,000 in population, it is to receive one electoral vote. For additional 10,000 in population, that locality district receives one additional electoral vote.

It is then essential that the gubernatorial electors are elected via population-based mode. That is why the voters, via electoral voting, in each state senate district have to choose the electors for governor.
