The path to reaching 270 electoral votes is very simple for Democrats.  Republicans can fix this by switching to “Winner take all by Congressional district.”    This would in no way dismantle the Electoral College. This is not a call for direct democracy. It’s totally Constitutional and is Federalism at its best. It ends voter fraud, preserves the Electoral College, and empowers the states.  Maine and Nebraska already do this.

State Legislatures have been given the power by Article Two, Section One of the Constitution to award their electors in the manner in which they see fit. James Madison said states should award their Electors in a way that derive the most benefit for their states.

Romney won the election everywhere but in the major cities. The fact is, the divide between urban and rural America has never been larger than it is right now. People in rural America have different priorities, hopes, and criteria for what they are looking for in a candidate. But urban America is picking the president for them.   

Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin all have Republican Governors and control of the Legislature right now.
