It's part of the classical pattern of libs. They vote in their people, who promptly lurch state or local government far to the left. Eventually, this destroys the community, what with higher taxes, failed schools, increasing numbers of people looking for the newly-created handouts, etc., and many of these same libs reach the point where they realize things are bad and move out. So they go someplace where those problems haven't set in yet. Unfortunately, they never figure out that their policies created the problems in the first place, so they vote in yet another set of leftists, and the cycle repeats. I've seen it here in NJ. When I was younger, this state was a fairly balanced place - Dems won sometimes, GOP sometimes, and the real loons were confined to a few places like Newark or Camden or Trenton. Then we got an influx of people like tommy from nyc and similar places. And now this state is going the same way - taxes through the roof, political correctness running amok, and every type of free-range moonbat species gets elected in most of the state (I'm in one of the few remaining sane areas). Another example: New Hampshire's becoming more and more of a "blue" state due to influx of people from Massachusetts fleeing the mess they've made there. One of my best friends used to live in Nashua, and hated seeing all the "Mass-holes", they call them, moving in and screwing up their town. It would be one thing if libs only fouled their own nests.

So true. It’s part of the classical pattern of libs. They vote in their people, who promptly lurch state or local government far to the left. Eventually, this destroys the community, what with higher taxes, failed schools, increasing numbers of people looking for the newly-created handouts, etc., and many of these same libs reach the point where they realize things are bad and move out.

But it is that type of discussion that is good for this nation as a whole. Teaching civic resoponsibilty in all of our schools for example would bebefit society as a whole and get more citizens involved in how our government is being run at all levels would be more benefical than our current system right now.

So yes, there is a good argument for splitting up it's electoral votes. I would expect a few other states to follow the trend should this happen. Not sure who that would benefit, but I know splitting California's electoral vote would benefit the republicans, as there are definitely large pockets of the state that vote republican. There are 55 electoral votes in California, followed by 34 in Texas, 31 in New York, and 27 in Florida.
