Would be a disaster. Would guarantee the death of Republicans since Dems know how to stuff ballot boxes and manipulate the numbers.

Would be better if they challenged the gerrymandering system.

It's true but remember that is part of the Stupid party's portfolio in this (and other) states. The Stupid party gerrymanders to get more Congressional districts here and the Evil party will take advantage of that once they take over. The problem is that the Stupid party refuses to cut federal government (and federal power) now, while there is still a chance to do so.

You’re looking at this the wrong way. Vote manufacturing can’t win state houses, that’s the whole point.

No change in the Constitution! Not one line, not one right lost! If we would have had no electoral college we would have had Al Gore as President on 9-11. That would have been horrible.

Democrats are good at stuffing ballot boxes in urban stronghold districts but not so much in evenly divided or Republican leaning districts. These changes would create firewalls around the districts preventing the vote stuffing in one area from changing the vote in the whole state. It would also have the positive benefit of getting candidates around more of the country instead of carpet bombing a few swing states.

You miss the point. They WILL stuff ballot boxes ONLY where they can. That is how you have 100%+ turnouts. But they have to control the territory where the voting takes place - and that is in the inner cities. So they stuff the crap out of Phili and Pitts, and wouldn’t you know it, all of PA is now a BLUE state.

With this, their victory strategy will have to change...they cannot march into a white precinct and simply take over the machines.
