(Harrisburg) -- A plan to split Pennsylvania’s electoral vote would mean presidential candidates next year will need to focus on winning individual congressional districts, not just the statewide popular vote. Political strategists are imagining how the plan will be a gamechanger for their line of work. Democrats are calling the plan a power grab, a realpolitik way of making it more difficult for their party to carry the state’s electoral winner-take-all vote. But congressional and state Republicans are also urging caution, on the basis the change may put the party in the cross hairs of a national political push. Ray Zaborney, a GOP political consultant, says what voters might notice if the winner-take-all system were scrapped would be presidential campaigns that stop in smaller cities because that’s where the swing districts will be. "It’ll turn some of these congressional districts - make it look more like Iowa and New Hampshire, as opposed to just fighting over a broad swath of the state," he says. " Remember, now when presidential candidates come in to campaign, they go to Philadelphia, they go to Pittsburgh. " The proposal comes from Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, a Chester County Republican. Governor Corbett has said he favors the plan.
