5. THERE IS NO STRATEGY that Could have Won for Obama Under the Proposed Rules

The House is so gerrymandered that it gives the Rapeuglicans a lock, even with a near-landslide proportion voting for Democrats nationally as they did last year. They intend to do the same thing with the Presidential race, and it looks like we have no legal recourse to prevent them from doing so.

No amount of getting out the vote will help if their votes count for twice as much per vote as ours do.

They will control the House and the the state governments for the foreseeable future, since they can re-apportion as often as they need to to stay in power. Soon they may have a lock on the Presidency as well. That would be the end of the two-party system.
