Having gerrymandered the Virginia congressional district lines to ensure that Repugs win the most possible congressional seats, the Virginia Repugs now want to allocate Electoral Co0llege votes by congressional district.
In the 2012 election, Obama won all 13 electoral votes in Virginia’s winner-take-all race. Had the election been under the proposed rules, Obama would have had only 4 electoral votes, to Romney’s 9 — despite winning the statewide popular vote.
Since the Repugs cannot win at the polls, they’re trying vote suppression, gerrymandering and rigging the rules. They’re sore losers and they can BITE ME.
