        It is weird, misleading, and ignorant to suggest that more proportional outcomes threaten democracy. 1/x

        Not to mention it is factually incorrect anything like “European-style” anything is potential outcome here. 2/x

        Worst of all: what’s with using “European-style” as some kind of warning? Xenophobia much? 3/4

        Plus: PR is not Just “European”—some form of PR is dominantly in democratic elections globally. single seat plurality is not the norm. 4/4

        This is irresponsible. European style? Did I miss the advocacy of multi-member districts?

        Straw man argument that to impose any limits necessarily results in stripping any degrees of discretion away from States. Best you can do?

        @drew_sorrells read this and then read about the author at the end. It will all make sense and will probably make you chuckle.

        Yes, the concept of one-man one-vote is so un-American.

        This is why you stop reading the wsj when you get to the opinion section. They make Rush Limbaugh arguments, just at a HS grad reading level

        More evidence that modern conservatives, even “intellectuals,” are liars. The race baiting doesn’t escape notice either...

        European should mean actually seen in Europe and the author should actually show he knows what he's talking about

        European style sounds like an implicit criticism, which is both crazy and incomplete. You mean like most democracies?
