If the ‘RATS love the Nebraska/Maine model for electoral votes, tell them to support changing Pennsylvania’s rules to adopt it.
Of course they will never do that because it would negate the benefits of the MASSIVE vote fraud they conduct in Philadelphia to tip this (otherwise mainly Republican) state into the ‘RAT column in presidential elections.
Consider if the law followed by Maine and Nebraska were in place in 2012.
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.
Getting rid of Lee Terry was a major coup by the Tea Party. A conservative will eventually hold that seat.
Even if 2014 was repeated I guess the GOP Presidential candidate would win that district while 5% voted to help Terry lose.
Its cool how conservatives think its ok to “bypass” the pay wall. Just because its the liberal NY Times.
So, its Ok to steal from the NY Times.
Is that what we’ve become.
I had to break out the miniature violin & a new box of tissues while reading that article… poor Professor Smith ;-(
It’s up to each State to define how they want to appoint Electoral Votes, subject to the Constitution; no doubt that the current Nebraska method would be more representative in New York here, or any one where a megalopolis dominates. If they wanted to be “fair,” they would also consider not only the Electoral tally, but the Popular vote and the NUMBER of States that a Presidential candidate takes.
If the shoe were on the other foot, the Democrats would have taken care of this years ago.
Please bear in mind that the Progressive Movement had to defeat two constitutional firewalls set up by the Founding States in order for the corrupt feds to overstep their constitutionally limited powers and centralize government power in DC.
More specifically, the Founding States had decided not to allow ordinary, low-information voters to elect either the members of the Senate or the POTUS. But the Progressive Movement has already defeated the Founders’ purpose for the federal Senate, the Founders originally giving control of the Senate uniquely to state lawmakers. The Progressive Movement defeated this firewall as evidenced by the ill-conceived 17th Amendment which gives politically misguided voters the power to vote for federal senators.
The remaining firewall to be thrown down in order for the Progressive Movement to control DC through media-misguided voters is the electoral college for electing the president. We see this happening now.
Another way to look at this situation is the following. The corrupt federal government has unconstitutionally expanded its powers by winning the support of low-information voters by the following means. Corrupt politicians trick such voters to support them by promising them spending programs which the feds actually have no constitutional authority to establish, Obamacare a good example.
The Congressional District/Senatorial method of elector selection is the fairest way to apportion the votes.
The winner of each Congressional District gets the vote assigned to that district and the overall winner within the state gets the remaining two votes assigned to the state as a “bonus.”
The voters within each district are not “disenfranchised” by feeling that their votes don’t count [as it is with the winner-take-all system], while the voters [collectively within the state] have their will expressed by the award of the final two votes to the state’s victor.
Red dot for obama, please.
