What this does is allow the republicans to redistrict the state any way they want so Obama could win 75% of the vote and still not get as many electoral votes as the republican.

This is another perfect example of why the electoral collage is outdated and rife with potential corruption and needs to be done away with. No more electoral votes. It should be one big nationwide vote, the candidate that gets the most votes wins just like every other election we have.
