Hoover is an interesting case because there are a number of important parallels to Gore. A man of science and technology, Hoover was known in his time as the "Great Engineer," both for his entrepreneurial successes in the extraction business and his progressive commitment to "social engineering."

Unfortunately, his extra-presidential talents notwithstanding, Hoover's one term administration proved astoundingly incompetent. Ever the tinkerer, when the Crash...
Natapoff developed a method to determine the best system given two inputs: First, one must know the number of voters. Second, one must know the probabilities of a random voter voting for each candidate (i.e. polling numbers). For example, a deadlock in the polls does not mean that exactly 50 percent of people will vote for one candidate and 50 percent for another, but rather that any random person's vote behaves like the flipping of a coin. So just as you would be surprised to get exactly 50 million heads out of 100 million tosses, you would be equally...
...turns out, vote power for a dead-even election is optimized by a straight popular vote, but as the polls put one candidate in front of another the vote power in an electoral system begins to increase until it overtakes the popular vote system.

In other words, as the number of voters increases, it takes a smaller and smaller imbalance in the polls for voter power to be increased by an electoral college-type system...
