The latest Republican plan to steal a presidential election may just work.

In Pennsylvania, according to Mother Jones, a plan is brewing to allocate the state's electoral votes by Congressional districts. Since Pennsylvania is gerrymandered to favor the election of Republican Congressional representatives, Obama could win the popular vote there, but lose the state in the Electoral College.

Given that the Pennsylvania legislature and the governorship are all controlled by the GOP, this is a law that has good odds of being passed.

With the precedent of Republican-controlled states using pretty much model templates of legislation to put barriers in the way of Democratic voting groups, it is extremely possible that the Pennsylvania electoral delegate plan will be proposed and enacted in other states where the GOP is in charge.

Then, it will be replaced with something even worse.

3. Not until everyone that is different from them is in some kind of camp

or prison or unable to voice an opinion.

The Tea Party-led GOP kinda reminds me of this guy and his views:
