Michigan legislative action thread
The socialists plans have been to control the cities, and through the cities, control electoral votes. De-coupling the cities/population areas will shatter the red state/blue state meme that the establishment has pieced together over the decades.
It would certainly be better than going to a Popular Vote election......that would be WAAAAAYYY too easy for the Dems to manipulate/cheat!
OUTSTANDING!! I had hopes that Pennsylvania was going to do the same several years ago (to defang the ‘RATS voter fraud in Philadelphia) but, apparently, some GOPe type inexplicably derailed it in the PA legislature. Now despite an even larger dominance of the Republicans in the legislature the fact that the incoming governor is a ‘RAT eliminates the possibility during the ‘RATS term in office.
This certainly would make Michigan relevant again.
I do not like the idea of each state having different rules for how we elect Federal politicians. If Michigan does this...why not all the states?
I am actually not excited how each state gets to determine their congressional districts either...each state doing it a different way.
Seems to me there is just too much room for corruption when each state can decide their own system of electing federal pols...like President...etc.
As long as it’s the liberal states that do it, im all for it :)
I, too, had been advocating this change, when we did in Kansas and though it didn’t make much difference when we held our Caucus prior to the 2012 general election, it really helped realize just how many Kansans were conservatives and desired less of government than those that desired, eh more, shall we say.
The same holds true for places like Texas and AZ. Let each state decide what is best.
I think that all Democrat majority states should apportion their electoral votes.
I also hope that no Republican majority states are stupid enough to do this.
Michigan, California and New York should all be apportioned. Texas should not.
I disagree with those who want to change the electoral college voting. It was set up to represent a Federal Republic, not a democratic republic.
I’m all for it. This would keep the major DemocRAT strongholds like Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Miami, Charleston, Richmond and other major cities from giving the Democrat nominee their States total number of EVs.
Do the Pubbies have the majority in the Michigan Legislature? If they do...... ram-rod this thing through.
I believe EC votes should be broken down to congressional districts with the two senatorial assigned votes going to the candidate who carries the majority vote in that particular state. Your candidate carries a congressional district he gets the EC vote for that district.
It is, easily, the best representation of the will of the voters.
Democrats were demanding proportional electoral college voting back when it looked like it might help them.
While they are at it they can go to DC and get rid of the Senate and get rid of it totally.
I think its a bad idea to break up state electorates, particularly for small states. It just pushes them further towards presidential irrelevancy.
Large States I can see it happening only from the perspective of breaking up the State into Regional units of which the Congressional district is as small a I would go.
