Thought I'd share an interesting series of graphs (http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeedpolitics/what-the-2012-election-would-have-looked-like-with). Essentially, the whiners of the most recent election are bemoaning the fact that the country doesn't look like it once did. If you go progressively back through our nation's history, you find that Romney would have easily won. All you need to do is reverse the franchise extensions that made other elements of our population able to vote.

Which, now that I think about it, is exactly what many Republicans have suggested.
