10. For one, the article is about what's going on in Nebraska...

What both the Democrats and Republicans want in their own state. Now, obviously, the Nebraska Republicans want to neuter the Democratic Electoral College vote from Omaha, while Republicans in other states want to change the process for the rest of the country. So, when you're talking about Republicans in general, their hypocrisy is apparent.

However, you were the one who went off tangent by quoting other Democrats from other states who were disputing changes to the Electoral College system as a whole, outside of Nebraska's context.

Where were the Democrats who has ever asked for the change to a Nebraska like system? The Democrats you've quoted all spoke out against something like that. No where are any Dems asking for a change at all. Dems in Nebraska are against changes IN THEIR OWN STATE without changes to that of other states. And Dems in other states have said nothing about the two states that already have proportional representation, they simply said that those two were enough.

I don't see the case here were Democrats are being hypocritical about this.

The onus is on YOU, dude. I have no obligation to prove YOUR arguments.
