Including all those regions that would have no say without the -- hoolstoptheheels 02/18/2020 12:57PM You mean, if the people who choose to live in -- 111Balz 02/18/2020 1:17PM There doesn’t need to be a recalibration -- TomKazanski 02/18/2020 09:22AM When millions of citizens essentially don’t have a vote -- 111Balz 02/18/2020 09:26AM Don't you think that's what the Va idea would do? -- hoolstoptheheels 02/18/2020 10:08AM I am not in favor of the Va idea, for the reasons you expressed ** -- 111Balz 02/18/2020 10:53AM And it would be even worse with a national popular vote -- Faz d.

Hoo 02/18/2020 09:41AM And the poor millions of GOPers in CA, NY, IL, etc. ** -- Hoodafan 02/18/2020 09:44AM And Texas and Florida ** -- tchoo 02/18/2020 09:18AM Rather than WI and PA?
