DES MOINES (AP) - Iowa lawmakers are considering changing the way the state's presidential votes are counted as part of an effort to break from the Electoral College system.

After trial balloons like this have “flown” without rebellion, the communist traitors will be emboldened to rewrite our Constitution. Study how Hugo Chavez subverted his country — Obama surely has.
There will be answers to be made as quickly as they got this insanity passed. We are looking at a Depression that will dwarf the one in the ‘30’s. This one will be Western-World wide. Get it? That is when the Islamic Fascists will hit us hard to cripple us permanently.
And the secular World has become too void of any and all courage to face the threat. Believe it, they will hit us again and very soon.
And yet they will still decide who the rest of the country votes for???
Iowa would still play a huge part of the party nomination cycle, but once their party has chosen its winner then you’re right. No one will need to return to Iowa and campaign.
They most assuredly do, however the question really should be "Do the people of Iowa know?"

Precisely! Whoever’s turnout the media can keep down, that’s who loses.
Well put!!!
If acceptance of out-of-state drivers’ licenses is unilateral legislation on each state’s part and does not depend on a reciprocal agreement with the other states I’d say it doesn’t constitute a violation of this. I’m not familiar enough with the basis of recognition of out-of-state CCW permits to intelligently comment on them.
