GOP: If we can't cheat one way to get what we want, let's cheat another way.

It didn't take long for the GOP to find another way to try and rig the Presidential election. After trying to limit voters rights by writing new ID voting laws and being rebuffed, the GOP has decided the best thing to do is simply to write new laws to ensure that people's votes won't matter.

The head of the GOP has said that the party will look into having some states apportion their electoral votes by House districts instead of winner take all. The plan is to have every state that voted for President Obama but has a majority of GOP House members and has a GOP governor should go with this way of voting for President. This would mean that states such as Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan would have their electoral votes split their votes along their House districts and how those in the district voted. Under their plan, although Obama won the majority of the state and the national votes, enough electoral votes would have changed to make Romney the President. But states like Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi, which voted for Romney, their state electoral votes staying the same. In theory, this would keep the White House in the hands of the GOP for years, no matter who the nation would want in the White House.

The GOP doesn't care how most Americans feel, and if they can't cheat to win the Presidential election one way, they'll try to cheat another way to get what they want.
