Michigan governor Rick Snyder (R) issued his toughest criticism yet of a proposal to award Michigan’s electoral votes by Congressional district, a bill that would likely boost the GOP’s presidential prospects. 

“You don’t want to change the playing field so it’s an unfair advantage to someone, and in a lot of ways we want to make sure we’re reflecting the vote of the people, and this could challenge that,” Snyder told Bloomberg TV. “I don’t think this is the appropriate time to really look at it.”

Snyder added he was “very skeptical” of the idea.
