Brilliant concept applying gerrymandering to the election of the PresidentThat's very niceEven worse for Republicans is changing demographics and the inability of Republicans to adapt
They got only 29% of the Hispanic vote in 2012. Given their recent histerics and blocking of immigration reform....that could drop to 15%
15% of the Hispanic vote would give Florida to the Dems. With rising Hispanic populations in Texas, it could turn Texas blue in the next 20 years
Florida and Texas turning blue would mean we will never see another Republican President
.
And yet when I point out that immigration will lead to the US being a defacto One Party State libs almost always deny that.
With all the corruption, incompetence and overreach that that entails.
I see a marginalization of the Republican Party.
They will continue to be a force in Jesusland as they stake out solid Red districts and maintain an ever decreasing voting block. But their ability to hijack the political system as a minority party will decrease.
I see plenty of Republicans, governors and legislatures on that chart.

And considering the two biggest Dem block states, NY and CA, have plenty of counties that vote Republican, I'm sure you are A-OK with getting rid of the "winner takes all" method for electoral votes, and freeing those voters hijacked by their urban brethren.
But it doesn't address the ever decreasing number of electoral votes that Republucans are capable of winning
actually, by going to a system where 2 EV's go by state popular vote (for the senators) and the rest are divided up by HOR districts, it does.
It could be the only hope Republicans have of regaining the White House
