I was thinking of something. Has there been any attempt by Republicans to push states like California to move to a proportional system to allocate Electors for the presidential elections? It would be fairer to Californian republicans (their votes don't mean shit at the moment), would force Presidential candidates to pay more attention to California and of course would rob the Dems of around 20 Electors (it's like a free Pennsylvania!)
Yes, of course there has. Republicans favor anything that favors republicans. They introduced a bill in California back in 2007 and introduced several bills in 2012 after they realized they controlled a lot of state legislatures where they lost the presidential race. However such blatant election theft was too slimy even for most state republican legislators.
Edit: Or the Dems trying something similar in Texas or anything.
No, because democrats aren't republicans and don't do such things. Several democratic controlled states do however support the interstate compact, to eliminate the electoral college.
I still think voter aptitude tests should be required to register to vote.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Historically everywhere that voter aptitude tests have been implemented they have been massively abused. The supreme court very correctly put in place very strong safeguard against any sort of poll test (or poll tax) more then a century back. It really shouldn't surprise you... disenfranchising people and autocracy go hand and hand. The entire reason they got implemented was to disenfranchise black voters in the south through rigged tests (ask the white guy to spell cat, ask the black guy to spell something hard.)
And seriously, if you think that people don't deserve to vote, get over yourself. Can you draw an IS-LM curve off the top of your head? Well why the hell do you think that you deserve to vote if you don't know even basic economics? It wasn't too long ago that more than half the student body of harvard medical school was illiterate, such standards are arbitrary and arbitrary standards are just the tyranny of someone somewhere.
