You don't wish a fairer apportionment of electoral votes?
I want my own magazine.

You mean, make them even less representative of the popular vote - like the house of representatives maintaining a majority with less than a majority of votes. I forgot, that's what fair means to a Republican.

Nationwide, in congressional elections, 1.4 million more votes were cast for Democrats than for Republicans. How do you suppose the Republicans came away with a 33 seat majority?

Yes, but that's not what your stinking party is after. They're after the usurpation of democracy and we all know it.

I'm all for abolishing that anachronism, it was only created in the first place for the slave owning states, we abolished slavery so why was it not abolished as well?

It's not unAmerican. Just anti-majoritarian.
