"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Although sounds good for conservatives now. How long until the proposal spreads across the country. I am not sure if I like this. Besides this will be null and void once the Democrats decide to use the popular vote instead of the electoral college.
I’m not for this at all. The Electoral College is there for a reason. I do not want to circumvent it.
If we want to fix the problem with California losing all it’s Electoral Votes to the Democrats, then we need to replace the RP leadership in the state, get bonified lucid conservatives on the ballots and back them from the top down.
It’s our leadership’s fault we aren’t giving 55 electoral votes each presidential election year. They don’t support conservatism. And thus conservatism fails here.
By splitting up the vote, we’d only be shoring up the bogus RP leadership in the state. If they wouldn’t lose the whole pie, they wouldn’t care as much. Frankly, they don’t seem to give a damn as it is.
California has been jetesoned into the forbidden zone by state and federal Republican leadership. And to add insult to injury, the mother-f-—ers still have the b—ls to call me and ask for money.
Nope, if they want our Electoral Votes, let them get off their asses and help out in our state. Otherwise they can whiz up-wind for all I care.
lib/dems will only back something that will 100% stack the deck in their favor...any potential of actual populus representation or fairness....will be voted down in a ny minute!!!
speaking of which (NY)....Go A-Rod...at least your accomplishment was done without chemical enhancement!!!!
The District Election Formula (already used in Maine and Nebraska) would bring the election process back to the original intent of the Founders. The Winner-Take-All formula was a method devised by the larger states to increase their power, in contravention of the whole purpose of the Electoral College.
Bush wins by an even BIGGER margin in 2004 if the "electors split by district" plan was in place, because Bush won over a TON of marginally DemocRAT districts in the south and west.
