Priebus: Republicans in blue states ‘ought to be’ rigging Electoral College [View all]

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus says that conservative lawmakers in blue states like Wisconsin “ought to be looking at” ways to rig the Electoral College system to tilt elections towards Republican candidates in a way that could have allowed presidential candidate Mitt Romney to win.

...

“I think it’s something that a lot of states that have been consistently blue that are fully controlled red ought to be looking at,” the RNC chairman explained, noting that such a system would give state lawmakers “more local control.”

...

“Once again they’re changing the rules because they lost the game – that’s what this boils down to,” Wisconsin state Rep. Jon Richards (D) insisted to the Journal Sentinel.

Yeah, more rigging and cheating is just what our democracy needs!
