Pennsylvania State Legislators Trying To Assign Electoral Votes By District. This Is the Republicans

From Democratic Convention Watch

Yesterday, Barack Obama was publicly sworn in as president for his second term. If some Pennsylvania state legislators had passed current legislation making its way through the state process last year, that wouldn't have happened, and Mittens could be in the White House. (There are similar bills in other states.)

Really.

Here is the text of Assembly Bill 94:

AN ACT
