I was listening to Andrew Wilkow today advocating for the state of Texas to form a state-based electoral college. What was he pushing?
The concern is that Texas is on the verge of becoming a purple state. Migration from California, from the North and also from hurricane-impacted jurisdictions have tilted the numbers there in the direction of the democratic socialists. In addition, large metropolitan areas often hold increasing levels of political power within states such as Texas because of demographic and economic changes. Globalism has dealt a lethal punch to small towns and rural areas around the nation.
Under these circumstances, the large metropolitan areas-- with their immoral and socialistic tendencies-- and the Democrats, of course, gain more political power. This affects Texas, but it potentially affects many other states also.

This is all I could find beside a tweeter battle about the idea that Wilkow mentioned on his radio show on Tuesday. I think it is genius.

It's an intriguing idea. As a rural resident, I find the thought attractive. Let's see if we can find out more and post it here.

Better to simply have a voter role comprised of only those paying taxes.
The only real fair way to ensure those on the dole do not vote for the cash for themselves.

I agree. It would prevent your poopyholes like Harris Co and greater Houston from polluting the good State with their evil.

"Rush"" hour in Houston is maybe the ultimate oxymoron.
As to weighing in, I would need to know a lot more.
