CMV: The electoral college should get rid of the "Winner Take All System" and give the amount of Electoral College Votes based on % of the popular vote of each state

Alright so I wrote about this for an English Paper in college and every time the electoral college comes up, I bring this idea up to people and Republicans and Democrats seem to agree.  Before I start, I know Im probably not the only person saying this method and some states even have this method to some extent (Nebraska) but anyway here it goes. Take the popular vote of each state, then the candidate will get the amount of electoral votes based on his/her % of the vote in that state (decimals will be added too).  

For example in the last election, California has 55 electoral votes, Clinton had 61.6% (33.88 electoral votes) and Trump had 32.8% (18.04 electoral votes). I do realize that it will be near impossible for a candidate to reach the 270 threshold to win so that would be abolished too.

Big reason I thought of this was because of how stupid it is to vote in obvious Democrat states (Ca,NY)/ Republican States (Tx,Southern States) because you already know the result in the winner take all method.  In this method, every vote would technically matter because you are getting a share of the electoral vote of a state.  It would also prevent candidates only focusing on "Swing States" and make them entertain the whole country because technically every vote would count.  Lastly, I think it will boost up voter participation.
Hopeful for a friendly discussion!

You think recounts are bad now, wait until this system gets implemented and a close election happens.

Suddenly it’s 254.06 electoral votes to 253.93 electoral votes.  Recounts gets launched in all fifty states, lawsuits, counter suits, and a million different processes all trying to resolve simultaneously.

Candidate A gains .02 in the CA recount, loses, 0.03 in the MA recount.  There is fraud claimed in NC, MS, and TX.  

This would be a complete and total mess, with potentially hundreds of lawsuits to contend with.
