They can prevent this by allocating their electoral votes as Maine and Nebraska do.
And ensure that another Republican is never again elected.
needing conservatives is a big key, and the idea of shared votes...ugh. The biggest cities, Dallas, Houston, San Antoni, Ft. Worth and Austin all are run by democrats. Anyone thinking the the state is not in need of a conservative change is asleep. Our property taxes are thu the roof, money that is paid in gas taxes do not go for roads, money paid for sporting taxes - ammo, fishing liscense etc etc. has been diverted to the general funds...that is not conservative.
