Democrats will never willingly allow such a thing to occur as it would not only fragment severly their hold on the West Coast Electoral Votes but also New York and other places they rely on.
Such a system would be of much more benefit to Republicans and potential Third Parties. Oh there's Texas and Florida where it may benefit Democrat but for the most part it wouldn't.
Leave it alone.
The Electoral College system works fine and is what it is because of the every nature of your country. Monkey with it at your peril.

It would have probably been a benefit to Democrats in 2000. The Democrats have advantages because of the two biggest states going Democratic but the Republicans have an advantage in that very small states get more votes than they would if they were strictly divided out by population.
