Wisconsin lawmaker proposes electoral votes by congressional district

At WisPolitics.com, a Wisconsin lawmaker proposes more of a proportional allocation of the electoral votes rather than a winner take all.  Pennsylvania is also considering making such a move.

He also said his proposal would be an added protection against voter fraud. By dividing up the votes by congressional districts, it would take away any incentive for Dems or Republicans to pile up votes through fraudulent means in any area of the state in an effort to impact the statewide popular vote and sway who gets the electoral votes. Nebraska and Maine are the only states that now award electoral votes by congressional districts.  “I’m looking along the lines of protecting the vote of the people in any given district, whether they be Republicans or Democrats and not have that vote taken away from them because of the people voting in other parts of the state,” he said.

Despite Maine allocating electoral votes in this manner, it appears the Left doesn’t like it:

Scot Ross of the liberal One Wisconsin Now called it the latest GOP effort to rig the ballot box.

“The depths to which Republicans in Wisconsin will sink to rig elections appear to be bottomless,” Ross said
