They could... and we attempted a few years back here in CA. If we could devise some sort of shaired appropriation of votes vs. winner gets all. I'd even go along with a winner gets a chunk, and the remainder being split based upon some system based upon a more local bases, such as county, house district something. Anything would be better than winner takes all in a state as large as CA, TX, NY ect.
As posted above, my vote in CA at this time in History for the president is a moot point.
