I wish it were true!

Ugh, another attempt to disguise the left’s go at accusing the right of doing what the left is wanting to pull off? Is this the best their infertile brains can produce? Nothing but minor media lapdogs lapping-up DNC-authored lies and falsehoods which are then regurgitated upon computer screens everywhere. After reading such dreck, the only way to make one’s monitor somewhat cleaner would be to view some XXX porn or a snuff movie—naturally, starring the democrat’s sycophant of the day.

“Will they try to steal the 2016 election? They’re already working on it. But that’s only the symptom, not the disease. “

Well it will be an uphill battle for the GOP to steal the election as the voting machines that are rigged only change a republican vote to a Democratic vote. When have you ever heard anyone complain that they voted for Obama and the machine changed their vote to Mitt? LOL!

If you want to know what democrats are doing just look at what they are accusing others of doing. The dems are trying to get rid of the electoral college and change to a popular vote system. In addtion to amnesty and trying to import millions of undocumented democrats.

In my opinion, the Congressional district getting the electoral vote is a good idea. Maine does it, and so does Nebraska.

Much better than the “popular vote” scheme pushed by liberals. They want the popular vote of the state to be IGNORED and force the electors of the state to vote for whichever candidate gets the NATIONAL popular vote.

So, for instance, if the state of California votes for Hillary Clinton 90%, but the nation as a whole votes for Ted Cruz, even if it is only by 100 votes, then Cruz gets ALL OF CALIFORNIA’s ELECTORAL VOTES.

An incredibly STUPID plan....though it would be nice to see Cruz win California. :-)

Yeah, this guy is pretty nuts. Just take a look at how he misportays Warner’s win in VA, in which a fairly abandoned/unfunded GOP candidate came really close to knocking off an incumbent Dem who was thought to be cruising to victory.

The bigger thing is that he seemingly ignores/dismisses the similar effort by Dems to have states tie their EVs to the national popular vote. That kind of EC manipulation seems to be quite ok with him.

You can be sure that if this popular vote scheme was adopted, and then there was an election which the Democrat lost because of it but would have won with the old way of determining electoral votes, they would immediately have a flood of lawsuits to force those votes to be cast for the Democrat.

If California were to be split into 2 or more states, and if NYC were made a separate state (with the rest of Long Island and Westchester Co.) some of the current California and New York block of electoral votes might become competitive.
