Surprise, surprise! How Romney would have romped to victory under the Republicans' new vote-counting plan

• Republicans want a bill that would allocate votes by congressional district
• They want it to replace the current electoral college voting system
• Virginia's Republican-controlled Congress tabled such a bill on Wednesday
• Under such a system, Mitt Romney would have won the last election

ollowed by the question: 'What if thing's had been different?'

But rather than accept their lot and strive to fight harder next time round, some Republicans want to change the electoral rules in a bid to make it easier for them to win in four years.

On Wednesday, Virginia's Republican-controlled Congress proposed a bill that would allocate electoral votes by congressional district, instead of the current winner-take-all system.
