UPDATE
Today (Thurs) on Ed Schultz's radio show - he was saying that the people in the districts are asking for these changes. Really??? NO - probably not! The people in these districts would not know to ask for this type of legislation. It is not the "people" that are asking for this - this is about REpublican deception.

In Virginia
In a matter of minutes, the
Republicans introduced and approved—on a 20-19 vote—a new map that is designed
to concentrate African-American and liberal white votes in a handful of
districts while virtually guaranteeing that Republicans will win a majority of
the new districts and control of the legislature.
In a matter of minutes
Virginia Republican deceit doesn't take very long.
How – when the the VA is even split – 20 R, 20 D
Did a Dem cross over to allow this horrible piece of
legislature to pass?
Nope – 20+19 = 39, not 40
The Republicans waited until a Dem went to DC for the inauguration
and then did this piece of nasty - so they would have the majority.
And if a Republican wins the
governorship this fall, the GOP will, thanks to a legislative coup and the
electoral map it created, have complete control of a state that was easily won
by Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, that has two Democratic senators and that
most observers believe is trending Democratic.
Oh and they didn’t stop there.
In Virginia,
a local news station reports that just this afternoon, a state Senate
subcommittee recommended a bill end Virginia’s
winner-take-all system and apportion its 13 electoral votes by congressional
district.
Unlike similar proposals in Pennsylvania and Michigan,
this one wouldn’t award the remaining electoral votes to the winner (Virginia has 11
districts). Rather, the winner of the most congressional districts would get
the final two votes. If this were in effect last year, Obama would have gotten
just 4 of the state’s votes, despite winning 51 percent of its voters.
The bill’s sponsor, Republican
Senator Charles W. “Bill” Carrico, says the change is necessary because Virginia’s urbanized
areas can outvote rural regions, weakening their political strength. In other
words, Carrico thinks winning land is more important than winning people when
it comes to presidential elections.
Awarding electoral votes by congressional districts - as I noted yesterday would mean
The Republicans new math.
The Republicans new way of counting electoral votes:
Kennedy Presidency- GONE
Carter Presidency – GONE
Obama Presidency – GONE
Evidently Democrats don’t deserve a presidency.
Rigging elections.
So they can win.
Cause they can’t win any other way.
CHEAT against their own legislative colleagues
- just to win, to win at any cost - NO moral compass
- just to win, to win at any cost - NO moral compass
STEAL - democracy away from the people of VA
- just to win, to win at any cost - NO moral compass.
- just to win, to win at any cost - NO moral compass.
Republicans across America - NO MORAL Compass.
Pretty soon - even the liberals are going to start buying guns - to "protect ourselves from tyrannical state governments."
Can't help wondering - and I know a lot of people are probably thinking this - I wonder - how much money is going into off shore bank accounts of state legislators - transferred there by the wealthiest Republicans. Sounds like a job for Anonymous.
