Now they want to use it to "gerrymander" the Electoral College. Much has been written about this, and some of it by me, at least with regard to their control of the House of Representatives. But even I've found the extent to which they've been willing to pursue this very bad idea. Apparently, it includes sneak attacks, like the recent one in Virginia.
On the other hand, they're not all on the same page when it comes to gerrymandered presidential elections. Just ask Virginia's Attorney General. Of course, he may be duking it out with his Governor for the GOP nomination in 2016, so both of them may want to avoid the obvious conflict-of-interest problem.
And then, Virginia and almost everyone else thinking about this suddenly changed their mind. Amazing what a little bad publicity through the Internet can do.
But don't rest easy. This will come back, when people aren't looking. Because the GOP has no choice.
