Yes, I have to agree with your point, and I realized that.
Ideally, it would work best if all states changed the apportionment of electoral votes, but that is not going to happen.
On the other hand, republicans are currently in control of what are usually regarded as blue states such as Pennsylvania. We got Ohio too. And we have Virginia. And Florida. The advantage is obvious.
It is quite possible that states will go back and forth on how they allocate the electoral votes depending on the party in power. If we have control of a blue state why not go for it? We have to take every advantage we can get against the cheaters.
The odds of us periodically controlling a blue state are infinitely better than a red state going blue.
“It is quite possible that states will go back and forth on how they allocate the electoral votes depending on the party in power.”
While that may be fine (and advantageous to the GOP) in the short term, I think many people (on both sides) would view this blatant partisan manipulation of the Electoral College negatively. It would give plenty of ammo (in terms of popular support) to the people who advocate ending the Electoral College entirely.
Yeah. I say let’s try it in PA. Not sure about OH/VA/FL, though.
