9. It doesn't matter what either party thought about it originally

If you read the OP, you'll see that the basis for saying the Republicans are hypocrites is how they feel about splitting electoral votes in Nebraska v. how they feel about splitting them in other states. Nowhere was it mentioned or implied that the Republican hypocrisy is based on what they think now about Nebraska splitting v. what they thought in 1992. The OP specifically stated they were hypocrites for opposing it in Nebraska while favoring it in other states NOW.

So my very simple question to you, if you think you can answer it without going off on unrelated tangents, such as the opinions of either party when the Nebraska votes were first split in 1992, is this: if the Republicans are hypocrites for opposing the split vote in Nebraska while favoring it in other states, such as Michigan and Virginia, are the Democrats hypocrites for favoring it in Nebraska while opposing it in other states, such as Michigan and Virginia?
