Republicans in key states want to change the rules to make it easier for them to win"

[DaGoose]

Here we go again.

After back-to-back presidential losses, Republicans in key states want to change the rules to make it easier for them to win.

.....GOP looks to rebound from presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Electoral College shellacking and the demographic changes that threaten the party's long-term political prospects.

So far, Republicans have only advocated for the change in states that have supported Democrats in recent elections.

obama won by a very narrow majority. That means he is opposed by a huge number of people. I don't blame democrats for being fearful about it.

Then why not simply abolish the electoral college all together?

5 million votes isn't really that narrow of a victory. Don't you find it a bit strange that the GOP is only pursuing this in states they currently hold at the local level but that Obama won at the national level?

What? and change the rules the democrats implemented when they were in charged? The nerve of some people.

They were multiple counties in PA without any Romney votes. That is a little hard to believe

Again....why not simply abolish the Electoral College and make it by popular vote?

No there weren't. There were multiple precincts in Philadelphia without Romney votes. Huge difference.

If the Democrats consider the idea evil, it must have considerable merit.

Because of stupid people voting like this last election but then again the electoral college also failed.

Do tell us when the current rules were implemented by Democrats, great historian. You don't find it strange that the GOP only wants to do this in states that Obama won?

None of them would find it strange.

I must have missed that part of American history where the democrats implemented the electoral college. Please share.

Well I know what the democrats did in North Carolina. They created a district 12 in 1990 that went through predominately minority areas.

This thread isn't about redistricting. It is about Republicans changing the way a state's electoral votes are apportioned.
