Clinton's biggest problem isn't emails, but GOP legislatures who want to rig the 2016 election...

1. That is not one problem with letting states deciding

what elections should be for their states. Plus it doesn't help that Nebraska and Maine already use this method. If we nationalized the election then none of this would be happening.

2. And the real kicker is, Nebraska is

likely going back to winner take all per article below.....They still can't accept Obama got 1 vote there in 2008....Keep in mind, if a Democratic candiate wins the one congressional district in NE, its already a landslide election (like 2008 was)...

3. i think all states should split electoral votes like nebraska

If one candidate gets beat in CA by 100 votes, the loser getting no credit whatsoever for millions of votes is insane IMO. Of course either party cherry picking certain states, I'm obviously against.

6. I disagree. So long as most of this country is gerrymandered

to death, democracy will not be served. An alternative might be to assign electoral votes proportionally by state. If a candidate get 65% of the vote then they get 65% of the electoral votes.

4. The GOP can only win elections by cheating

These changes to the electoral college are pure cheating

7. Which doesn't bother them in the least -- as long as they win. They have no conscience, remember?
