While blue-state GOPs seek to split Electoral College, Nebraska seeks return to winner-take-all

4. The OP pointed out the hypocrisy of the Republicans

based on what they're doing in Nebraska v. what they're doing in other states, and yes, they're being hypocritical. But the Democrats are as well, since they're against going to winner take all in Nebraska, while in favor of it in other states.

Of course each party is going to be in favor of what's best for them in any particular situation, that's expected. But that doesn't mean it isn't hypocritical, on both sides.

State Sen. Donald A. McEachin (D-Henrico) called the proposal one of Republicans’ many “sore-loser bills” related to elections and voting.

“The bill is absolutely a partisan bill aimed at defying the will of the voters, giving Republican presidential candidates most of Virginia’s electoral votes, regardless of who carries the state,” he said.

"It seems to me that the Republicans are throwing up the white flag, saying they can never win Michigan, and taking what they can get instead of competing for all 16 electoral votes." Rep. Andy Schor (D-Lansing) said of the bill during a hearing in the House Elections and Ethics Committee last week.
