Rethuglican state legislators in several "blue" states are continuing their efforts to rig the electoral vote process so that Rethuglican Presidential candidates win their state, even when the popular vote gives the win to the Democrat. Michigan is one of the prominent states where this is happening.
This past weekend, at its convention, the Michigan Rethuglican Party backed a plan that would allocate 14 of the State's 16 electoral votes according to the winners of each Congressional district. If that scheme had been in place in 2012, President Obama -- despite winning the State's popular vote by 9% -- would have lost the State's electoral vote to Willard "One Percent" Romney on the basis of Congressional district voting. For a party that screeches about "freedom" and "liberty" all the time, they sure like authoritarian politics.
