The Ultimate Winner
When it looks like one party is trying to rig a vote and subvert the will of democracy by applying it selectively, it looks really, really bad for that party.
When Republicans start talking about splitting the electoral college in their own states, then the GOP will have credibility on this issue. But a concerted effort to split the electoral college in manner that benefits themselves alone looks like a cynical power grab by a party that no longer knows how to win elections without gerrymandering the results. Any other argument about states' rights, blah, blah, blah, is just utter bullshit.
I figured Dems don't give a fuck about states rights.
I'm a Republican.
When Republicans start talking about splitting the electoral college in Texas or Georgia, then you can come back to us with pious self-righteous indignation. Otherwise, it's just a cynical naked grab for power that has nothing to do with "states' rights."
I don't agree with you. Not pious or self-righteous, not even a Republican. It is a states rights issue and all states are allowed to do as they please with their votes.
I believe in the laws, if the Dems wanted to do it, it would be fine, they have tried it and done it before. The state is the say of their votes. BTW, come screaming if it is actually passed, because not even a majority of Republicans in Virginia think this is good for their state.
