Republicans seek to change California’s electoral vote allocation
From MyDD:
A Republican-backed ballot proposal could split left-leaning California between the Democratic and GOP nominees, tilting the 2008 presidential election in favor of the Republicans.
“If this change is made, it will virtually guarantee that a Republican wins the White House in 2008,” [Democratic consultant] Lehane said in an e-mail.
Nineteen of the state’s 53 congressional districts are represented by Republicans. President Bush carried 22 districts in 2004, while losing the statewide vote by double digits.
