NRCC: Don't change electoral rules

According to the WSJ, NRCC chair Pete Sessions is the latest GOP leader to warn the state's Republicans not to change the state's distribution of electoral college votes:

The problem: Since statewide vote totals would no longer matter, Republicans worry Democrats will move campaign efforts out of safe Democratic districts in urban population centers and into the more moderate suburbs. That could put extra heat on GOP House candidates.

“This proposal will have a minimal effect on the presidential race at the expense of negatively altering the political landscape for Republicans in Pennsylvania’s House races,” said Mr. Sessions, a Texan who heads the National Republican Congressional Committee.
