Pennsylvania could have done the same this year. We had solid GOP majorities in both houses and a GOP governor pledged to sign it into law. The only thing which stopped it was hissy fit opposition from our asshat GOP chairman who was afraid that it would dilute his power on the national scene.

Really?

That's especially interesting to me since I am from Pennsylvania and have lived there for most of my life, but did not know about this.

Just Google "Pennsylvania electoral vote allocation."

There is a lot of news on the topic (before Gleason made it vanish), ranging from the hyperbolic hissy fits of the left to a more rational newsclip from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

At this point, I'm thinking the National GOP Committee should be pressured to reform delegate allocation to put a lot more emphasis on the state's potential and performance in delivering actual electoral votes to the GOP than on their population.

Then asshats like Gleason would have to way the potential for slightly diminished influence in GOP blow-out sized presidential elections versus the certainly of greatly diminished influence in close elections.
