Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) proposed a Constitutional amendment that would give the winner of the
popular vote in the presidential race an additional 29 electoral votes.

"Swing states would still retain their importance in the Electoral College, but the additional 29
delegates awarded to the popular vote winner would fundamentally alter the focus of the campaigns.
Candidates would have to target voters in states they have no chance of winning, as well as in states
they have no chance of losing."

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
