This is surprising. Does Reihan really not believe the effort to change California's apportionment of electoral votes in order to advantage the GOP is "devious?" There are a lot of arguments one can make as to how to reform the electoral system, but single-state ballot initiatives funded by wealthy partisans that will clearly throw the election to one or another party is fairly clearly not it. I can respect that some folks will say that cutting taxes on the rich is such an inviolable principle that it easily trumps some electoral chicanery, but please, let's not pretend a naked power grab is anything but a naked power grab.
