I believe that Maine and Nebraska did away with "winner takes all" for presidential elections. The winner does take all for two votes, and the other electoral votes correspond to the congressional districts. A candidate must win each of the votes, one district at a time.
That's an even worse way to do it. Most congressional districts are drawn in such a way that they include a majority population that is heavy Democratic or Republican leaning. This would be almost certain to guarantee that these states are ignored when the election occurs.
