Sen. Dominic Pileggi is not the most popular man in Pennsylvania politics these days.
That’s not totally unexpected. His proposal to change the way Pennsylvania decides elections – moving away from a winner-take-all format and instead awarding Electoral College votes by congressional district – was sure to raise some hackles.
What is a bit surprising is where some of the complaints are coming from.
Sure, Democrats are ripping the Chester Republican, saying it’s a blatant attempt to rig elections in the GOP’s favor in light of the state’s increasing tendency to back Democrats in presidential elections.
But what is surprising is the reaction of some Republican congressmen across the region. They’re not thrilled about it either.
