| The logic is sound, but the feeling of eventual betrayal runs deep for some reason. LANSING, MI -- Republican Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville is wary of a proposal to split up Michigan's Electoral College votes by district, suggesting that such a move could diminish the state's importance in presidential elections. "I don't know that it's broken, so I don't know if I want to fix it," Richardville said Tuesday, becoming the first high-ranking Michigan Republican to question a bill that state Rep. Pete Lund is poised to reintroduce in the House.
Down in the story, it acknowledges what most of us already know, that this isn't on benevolent overlord Rick Michigan's agenda, which as we know means next to nothing. Still, it's refreshing to see this election rigging scheme start to show some cracks. The idea behind the bill is a form of cynicism that says that the Republican Party will never be a party that will change to become more attractive to minority groups. |
