Anyway, here's some interesting math for ya via Democratic Underground regarding the Virginia GOP's attempts to change the way Electoral College votes are apportioned in a presidential election:
Barack Obama won 51.16% of the vote. Under the new bill he would have won four of the states 13 electoral votes.Yup - it's right about three fifths. Each Obama voter would be counted as 3/5 of a Romney voter. Ring any bells for anybody?
And do you know how much it counts an Obama voter as? (It's 4/13 divided by 51.16%. I'll wait. Do it. Get a calculator. You'll crap yourself.)
So the Repubs hold their little confab at an Antebellum Plantation - where one of the main Party Strategy topics was how to appeal to minority voters - and this is one of the things they came up with? How is it these guys even stay in business?
