Consider if the law followed by Maine and Nebraska were in place in 2012.

2012 represented the first time since 1960 that the winner of the election did not win the popular vote in a majority of congressional districts. As President Obama was reelected, the reduction of his overall percentage of the vote from 53.7 in 2008 to 52.0 in 2012 also resulted in a majority of districts voting for Romney. Obama, the Democrat, ‘won’ 209 districts while the Republican, former Governor Romney, ‘won’ 226.

That would put Romney in the lead--though not at a win.

Now, if I recall correctly, in Nebraska and Maine, the OTHER two electoral votes go to the "overall" statewide winner.

Romney won 24 states in 2012, which would have given him 48 more electoral votes if the Nebraska/Maine model were followed.

226+48=274 Electoral votes.

Valerie's man-child was able to seize 26 states plus the DC region. That would net her team 55 EVs.

209+55=264.

Romney would be the one working to rebuild America, instead of Hussein doing Val's bidding in destroying the republic.

Giving the votes proportionally would ruin any attempt by the democrats to cheat their way to victory in Detroit and Flint.

Go ahead and produce a billion Detroit votes for democrats, ya still only get 1 vote from your district.

Naturally the democrats are livid.

Romney is a statist, he would not be working to rebuild the Republic, but to solidify its destruction.
In this, there is no difference between Romney and Obama.

Reggie Love would have to change his tats, LOL

If you think about it, this would have forced Romney to campaign in conservative districts instead of focusing on the big money around Detroit.
