who did they vote for or did they not even vote???? I’ll bet half or more voted obama and Democrats

I cannot see a Romney Administration being this cruel via the evil EPA. Half the EPA are stupid loafers and porn surfers just fire them.

imagine if electoral votes were awarded by county rather than popular vote.

win the majority of a states counties and you recieve that states electoral votes.

no more flyover country. no more big city clustering.

Or: each Congressional District gets one EV, and the majority of the State gets Two EV. Since EVs are actually enumerated that way, it's fairly easy to implement. It also makes holding the State legislature very important at redistricting time ...

perhaps we should put up signs near government dole offices:

You have no job.
You have to collect unemployment.
Thank a Democrat.

Outside Charleston, WV. I have seen several similar billboards in WV, PA, and KY.

state republicans better move on making electoral awards go by country rather than state wide.

wining a mojority of individual counties wills the electoral votes. none of this statewide flyover BS.

I doubt that would fly constitutionally... in fact I know it wouldn't. But you could award electoral votes by congressional district with the other two votes going the the state-wide popular vote winner. That way it is still majority rule, but it does not give an advantage to big city political machines with corrupted polling places.

In 2012, instead of Obama winning all 20 EV votes from PA, he would have only won 8 or 10 of them with the rest going to Romney.

They are related to good jobs and good people in WY, WV and KY. Those states voted majority for R0mney/Ryan and McCain/Palin. PA voted majority for Barackula the Destroyer. Twice.

WY, WV, and KY don't have anything approaching the size of the corrupt political machine that is Philadelphia. If they did, those states would have gone to Obama as well.

The Obama voters in Philly don't give a crap about people in SW Pennsylvania or what happens to them as a result of Obama's policies. They want their free stuff and they don't really give a damn if the rest of the state collapses.

Don't blame everyone in the state for the corruption in the big cities.

Good point. Look again at #56 and #57. Voting for demonicRATs appears to be strongly correlated with urbanization.

You don’t know how they voted either...if they belonged to a union their money went to elect democrats....I assume they did nothing when the same democrats were shoving it to the rest of us. The county might have voted for Romney but union members vote for democrats. And these a-holes are union members!!!What goes around comes around so they can get in the same line with lumberjacks, pipeline workers and a lot of other people whose lives were ruined by stupid ass democrats!

To some extent. But look at the maps again. There were more counties in Mississippi that voted for Obama than counties in Pennsylvania. They weren't 'Urban' counties.
