It is directly related. Republicans in Virginia are try to get around the fact that a majority of Virginians don't like Republican presidential candidates. Their response? Try to game the system. Likewise the other states that are thinking of trying the same. They were all swing states that went for Obama in the last election. That isn't a coincidence. In the last election, 1.5 million more Americans voted for Democratic House candidates than Republican. Yet the Republicans retained a comfortable majority in the House. A slight majority could have been chalked up to all kinds of reasons. But this is clearly an attempt by states to skew national elections in the favor of the national party. Apparently the Republicans feel they have the right to rule, despite what the majority of Americans feel. That isn't democracy. That is fascism.
