Florida’s Republican House Speaker Will Weatherford has come out against current Republican efforts to change the way Electoral College votes are apportioned.
“To me, that’s like saying in a football game, ‘We should have only three quarters, because we were winning after three quarters and they beat us in the fourth,” Weatherford told the Miami Herald. “I don’t think we need to change the rules of the game, I think we need to get better.”
The GOP’s proposal would divvy up electoral votes based on the outcomes in congressional districts, giving Republicans an outsized advantage. Republicans have floated these proposals in Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
