3. I've been worried about this

Republicans know the only way they can win is turn presidential elections into a congressional district by congressional district election, instead of state by state. As there are more rural districts than urban ones (and will be for awhile thanks to 2010 redistricting).

The Democrats have nowhere to retaliate as the only red state which is fully controlled by Democrats at the state level is West Virginia which only has 5 electoral votes.

We absolutely must defeat these types of proposals in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Florida. This is just another result of Democratic voters' catastrophic decision of not bothering to vote in 2010. After we stop these bills from being enacted, we ABSOLUTELY must get our ENTIRE base out in 2014 and at least elect Democratic governors to these states to put a stop to any chance of this bull shit from ever being enacted.

EVERY ELECTION, EVERY TIME...VOTE!
