“But most of these states have a simple political geography: vast swaths of Republican-leaning rural and sometimes suburban districts balanced by, and sometimes outweighted, by densely-packed, deeply Democratic urban districts. It’s not surprising that frustrated Republicans would tire of seeing their votes rendered moot by high (some would argue suspiciously high) turnout in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, etc. often gives Democrats the edge in these key states.

My first thought was to oppose this until I read this. If we ended up with electoral votes awarded by district vote fraud is limited to Rat strong holds and can't sway entire states.

Wow! Another stupid idea from shallow thinkers. The Founding Fathers set up the Electoral College for a reason. People like Corbett and Fred Thompson need to reread their copies of the Constitution.

if the vote happened today I think the split would be more something like 16-4

This is actually a good idea for Republicans to implement. That being the case and Republicans being idiots they won’t.

[Noob1999]

There may be some merit to this idea after further study, but the process of extreme gerrymandering must also be addressed before any implementation.

I doubt this idea will go anywhere since it will ultimately help the GOP.

One good thing is that it would limit the damage from vote fraud in the inner cities.

After the last few presidential elections someone puts out a map of the U.S. showing the election results by county. I’ve never understood the utility of such a map as we don’t elect the president by county. I think a map broken down by congressional district would be more interesting.
