I think thats the difference in how we approach this.
You want the scores to be more accurate and that populations shouldn't be able to swarm the map, thus making it less fun for some players.
I want anyone who wants to play to be able to play at any time, up to the limits of the server (pop-locked), because its no fun at all to sit in queue waiting for the other faction to log on so your faction can get a bigger population.
Score is important, sure. So is the enjoyment of low pop faction players. But why should anyone who wants to log on be prevented from playing short of poplock? Sacrifices must be made for the health of the campaign sounds all well and good when its not your playtime.
In the proposed scenario each and every single player is able to play, and typically even zone into Cyrodiil immediately (except during prime time due to triple pop lock).
How? Have a character in a different faction.
What's a simple relief for those that have only monofaction characters? ZOS can add a faction change option to the crown store. Maybe even give one for free to encourage players to sort out into mostly even buckets.
That is more than sufficient to account for all but a few die hards, and frankly, my belief is that they are a statistically insignificant amount of the population.
I'm one of those faction loyal die-hards, so that doesn't work for me, but I'll admit I'm probably in the minority there.

Ive had a blast fighting against Ni for a change. I’m not in this much for the score, just the fights.
Before the Ni guys started taking Rayles and Glad every night I was about to quit PVP. Seriously, fighting in the Ash-Nickel gate or the Bleaks-Chal gate night after night was boring me to tears. It’s been exciting tracking down their Zerg, picking off stragglers, and retaking their keeps.
Thanks for keeping things interesting. DC is beset on at least three fronts every night. Red and yellows runaround everywhere in our home territory. I’m like a dog chasing cars on a freeway, there’s so many.... Its fun again.

And if you play during prime time, you wouldn't even notice the change anyways.

Your character is assigned to the campaign score based on when you play the most. So you don't create more servers to play on just segment the score.
PC / NA / Vivec / Primetime
Primetime Scoring (5 PM EST – 1 AM EST) 86% of your playtime
Night Scoring (1 AM EST – 9 AM EST) 13% of your playtime
Day Scoring (9 AM EST – 5 PM EST) 1% of your playtime

That's because the foul attitude in your faction drives everyone from it, no wonder you can't stack like you used to.
The side that has the best PvResource strategy at the 10 minute mark before scoring ticks will win the campaign.
Resources are worth 54 points in this game, keeps 18, and scrolls 6 (lol) notwithstanding the double points for home keeps/resources.
I don't know why the easiest targets in PvP are worth the same as the hardest ones on the scoreboard.
Prime time is an abstract concept without a game mechanic because it is subjective and entirely based on your chosen schedule rather than your location.

Keeps should be worth 3 points base and Scrolls should be 6 points base.
IMO.
Resources need to be less important. Keep the 1 for 1 scoring on Shor. On Vivec the scrolls need to matter a lot more.
