You know, our side would have gotten more votes this go-round, but I want people to have to fight to win the whole state. It makes the state, as a state, matter more. If it&#8217;s one more thing that whittles down the role of states independently of the people who live in them, and we need to build them up, not to Balkanize America, but because it&#8217;s the states that created the federal government. Not the other way around.&#8221;]]>Sun, 27 Jan 2013 14:00:08 -0500<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]>https://hotair.com/headlines/2013/01/27/ken-cuccinelli-opposes-plans-to-split-states-electoral-votes-n99616
