Electoral votes don’t add up in Pennsylvania

Is Pennsylvania really a blue state? That’s what the media try to say.

They tell us that it’s been a long time since a Republican has won this state.

After looking up how this could be, I now understand our votes don’t matter in the presidential election because all it takes to win the state are Philly and Pittsburgh and a few surrounding counties around both cities.

Because of the 67 counties, the Republicans will win 60 of them, and the Democrats will win seven, but the seven is where the population is the biggest.

So the question to Bill Shuster and the Republican Party leaders of Blair County: How is this fair for the state when 60 counties vote Republican but all it takes is seven counties to win the state for the Democrats?

Maybe they can make the system fair and not award all 20 electoral votes to the Democrats.
