CA Evil Electorate Vote Proposed

A Republican lawyer is putting forth the Presidential Reform Act. It is a particularly stinky proposition that a man named Thomas Hiltchk wants to put on the ballot here in California. As you know, California has 55 electoral votes and we have moved up our primary has been moved to February 5 to allow us more say.

What Hiltchk is proposing is that two, yes, two electoral votes go to the popular vote winner and that the remaining 53 votes would be award to the Presidential winner of each congressional district. This means that California could decide the winner of the election and the outcome would almost guarantee a Republican president. UGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Yes, because the last one has worked out oh so well.

On the plus side, it has to qualify to get on the ballot and then it has to pass. The part that bothers me the most? All of the time, money and energy that we will have to spend to defeat it.

You should know that Hiltchk is the general counsel for the Governator and that the Governator's office doesn't know anything about this proposed proposition. Right and that denial will buy me a home here in San Francisco. Thanks to Scaramouche for pointing this out to me.
