Republicans keep daring rational Americans to live in America. That's pretty much the only logical prism through which one can sort out and sorta comprehend the blinding effrontery of Republicans' latest intrigue.
I would have thought they'd had enough--that they would have finally concluded that there's something very wrong with the Republican Party itself, and not with voters and the way we count their votes. I of course would have been wrong, for according to GOP masterminds there's nothing internally awry that cannot be fixed by simply fixing the game.
I retain doubts that their latest, and perhaps darkest, anti-democratic scheme will ever materialize. Yet that's almost immaterial at this point, whose essential thrust is that the Republican Party not only keeps daring us, but also and rather miraculously keeps finding ways to dig itself even deeper.
If you are speaking of the EC shenanigans, perhaps some GOP people are starting to see the light. Looks like there are enough state senators of the GOP persuasion in VA to scuttle the plan and at least one GOP state senator has lambasted the idea.

Well my comment a couple of posts down addressed this issue. Need I point out that they only have to vote split the electoral college vote in a couple of key states for this to work. There aren't really much in the way of legal ways to stop it either. There already states and therefore a precedent for doing it. I'd start working on that before the first black president becomes the last Democratic president for a while. If Republicans consistently acquire the generational power to make SCOTUS appointment there will be trouble.
