MI GOP to advance EC reallocation plan

Michigan is weird

Driving through Michigan at 14, I thoroughly agreed.

I still agree in my early to mid 20's.

Much of Michigan has had no new construction since the 1960s except perhaps at freeway interchanges.

This would be great to do in all states where we have state legislative majorities and governorships.  In this case, the real Michigan will finally get a chance to have a say, and we can expand the swing state map for Republicans. Folks outside Detroit  can finally have their voices heard after years of being drowned out.

Republicans have so gerrymandered the state that Battle Creek, East Lansing, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Lansing are in Republican districts.

I suppose that Battle Creek, East Lansing, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Lansing aren't part of the "real Michigan".

Your Real America is the part that thinks that evolution and a universe much older than 6000 years old are demonic deceits, that the only purpose of Earthly life is to so suffer for economic elites that they get Pie in the Sky when you die, that global warming is a complete hoax, that gays are all child-molesting perverts, and that Barack Obama is every loathsome thing. possible.

This could be a big deal.

In the current electoral map, a Republican who flips Florida, Ohio and Virginia gets 266 electoral votes.

Any distribution that provides three more electors gets a 269-269 tie, determined by the political party with the most state congressional delegations (that would be the Republicans.) Four electors takes away the tie.

Democrats must play a beat-the-cheat strategy because the Republican nominee, the Republican party, and Koch front groups will cheat as much as they must to win if they have the chance. Remember -- if they win, then nobody dares ask any questions unless he doesn;t care whether he has a job working for an American employer.
