"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
I agree.
I have been a big fan of this system for several years.
It would give Republicans a big boost in several states which Democrats almost always win because of huge majorities in limited big city areas: New York, California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Washington and Pennsylvania come to mind.
On the other hand, while Democrats would undoubtedly pick off some electors in generally Republican states like Florida and Texas, the effect would not be as exaggerated. This is because Republican strength is more diffuse in most Republican states, especially in the midwest and mountain states.
This plan is a huge net gain for Republicans and conservatives generally, and would force the Democrats to tear down their “psychiatric wing” if they want to ever be elected to any nationwide office ever again.
“... Democrats would become competitive in the Deep South again...”
This seems a bit over optimistic. Win a few yes. Competitive? Hardly. NC,VA,maybe TX but where else? If this means the rat wins SOMETHING in every Southern State, well yes. But “competitive” should be more than 25%.
