    Just smoke and mirrors. They know the electronic voting machines will skew the results anyway. Diverting attention away from the Banking cartel getting ready to start a world war and taking your retirement funds.

    You are sad. From the founding, whatever two parties existed, sought what advantage they could in State law. Gerrymandering is common no matter who controls a State legislature, so your headline is inane accusing the GOP of what Democrats practice equally.

    The GOP path to winning is simple. Nominate a conservative candidate.

    Regardless of the party, do you agree with the idea of dividing the electoral votes based on who won individual house seats?

    Frankly, I don't care what party has endorsed this plan. It's a stupid one that is transparently there to garner more electoral votes.

    Just because you can claim both parties do it doesn't make it somehow right.

    No, I prefer the original winner takes all electoral vote standard.

    I am surprised that it is Republicans pushing the split vote agenda now. In the past it has been the Democrats who sought proportional electoral voting.
