If it keeps Hillary out of the White House, its amusing how Lefties are suddenly against fairness. Dear old George knows its all about her and all about presidential politics. I love how something so simple can get them all foaming at the mouth!

Goldie, c'mon. The Republican proposal in your state isn't about fairness; it's about power, as are almost all ballot proposals in any state.

48 states operate on a 'winner-take-all' system for their presidential electors, 2 use the proportional, district-based scheme. Neither system is ''right'', it's what the states, severally, have decided to do, as is their right under the Constitution.

Sure, the district-based scheme would favour the 'Pubbies (duh!), but if this proposal is unsatisfactory to the citizens of California, all they need do is vote it down.

Given that California seems to have a preponderance of 'Rats among the electorate, I'd have a VERY hard time believing that the electorate will approve this ballot measure. Heck, even if they do, you absolutely KNOW that the Calbanian legislature and/or the Ninth Circus (which, Constitutionally, has utterly no jurisdiction upon this question...which won't stop them for a NY taxicab minute) will find some pretext by which to block its enforcement.

In short, this is possibly the ultimate non-story story. Ain't gonna happen. Might as well write about an invasion of Oxnard by the Squilorish (nasty outer-space buggers, dontchaknow).
