A Red Play for The Golden State

There's some malicious mischief at play in efforts to reform our electoral system
Is California GOP Trying to Steal the 2008 Election? By Jonathan Alter
Newsweek
Aug. 13, 2007 EXCERPTOur way of electing presidents has always been fertile ground for mischief. But there's sensible mischief--toying with existing laws and the Constitution to reflect popular will--and then there's the other kind, which tries to rig admission to the Electoral College for strictly partisan purposes. Mischief-makers in California (Republicans) and North Carolina (Democrats) are at work on changes that would subvert the system for momentary advantage and--in ways the political world is only beginning to understand--dramatically increase the odds that a Republican will be elected president in 2008.

A right-wing law firm with very deep pockets are working with GOP reps to steal the election by destroying California's winner-take-all system of electoral votes--they would instead be divided per results in each congressional district. This gives the GOP presidential ticket at least 20 electoral votes (because of safe GOP districts) that it wouldn't get UNDER ANY RULES IN ANY OTHER LARGE STATE.
