Mother Jones has a look into a tactic that Pennsylvania Republicans are pursuing, and other red states might follow, that essentially allows a state to assign electoral college votes to district-level voting results instead of statewide results.
States redraw their districts every 10 years after the US Census shows changes in demographics. In a red state, this allows Republicans to redraw district lines to wither down the advantage of concentrated Democratic districts into slight Republican majorities.
The result: a popularly elected President (one who wins a majority of votes, including one with a large majority) may lose.
Just more proof Republican lawmakers are actively defying the US Constitution by disenfranchising voters by changing the rules of how you can vote, and how much your vote counts. It's not stealing, if you make it legal, eh?
