As I told all you wags at the time ---- the reason the EC issue comes up every four years ---- and it always comes up every four years ---- is that that's the only time it's relevant. It's the only time it operates. It's the only time it exists.

But it's just as relevant, if you really want to rehash the whole thing yet one more time. Nothing will have changed.

Remember, bedwetting sexist losers had nothing to do with Trump winning. It was about "economic anxiety", and not about the way that the wimpiest betas on the planet were crying about how they couldn't score.

what ever happened to creating six states out of California?

Republicans control the entire government. Not a lot Democrats currently can do.

Oh how quickly they forget...

While it’s almost forgotten now, the George W. Bush campaign was planning to challenge the results of the 2000 vote if he lost the electoral vote, but won the popular vote. His campaign hoped to spark a national movement to pressure members of the Electoral College in states where the popular vote went for Al Gore to ignore that and instead vote in line with the national popular vote — thus making Bush president.[...]

Gore was even preemptively criticized for winning under these circumstances. It “would be an outrage” said Rep. Ray LaHood, R.-Ill. NBC’s Chris Matthews said that “knowing him as we do, [Gore] may have no problem taking the presidential oath after losing the popular vote to George W. Bush.” (Matthews lost interest in this issue when the opposite occurred. He later said that he himself had voted for Bush in 2000.)

On November 1, Michael Kramer, formerly Time’s political columnist, wrote about the Bush campaign’s plans in the New York Daily News, where he was managing editor:

So what if Gore wins such crucial battleground states as Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania and thus captures the magic 270 electoral votes while Bush wins the overall nationwide popular vote?

“The one thing we don’t do is roll over,” says a Bush aide. “We fight.”

How? The core of the emerging Bush strategy assumes a popular uprising, stoked by the Bushies themselves, of course.

In league with the campaign – which is preparing talking points about the Electoral College’s essential unfairness – a massive talk-radio operation would be encouraged. “We’d have ads, too,” says a Bush aide, “and I think you can count on the media to fuel the thing big-time. Even papers that supported Gore might turn against him because the will of the people will have been thwarted.”

Local business leaders will be urged to lobby their customers, the clergy will be asked to speak up for the popular will and Team Bush will enlist as many Democrats as possible to scream as loud as they can. “You think ‘Democrats for Democracy’ would be a catchy term for them?” asks a Bush adviser.

The universe of people who would be targeted by this insurrection is small – the 538 currently anonymous folks called electors, people chosen by the campaigns and their state party organizations as a reward for their service over the years.​

On November 3, the Boston Herald reported that if Bush won the popular vote, his campaign “would likely challenge the legitimacy of a Gore win, casting it as an affront to the people’s will and branding the Electoral College as an antiquated relic.”

Illegal immigrants "decide elections" in the same way that H.W. "shot JFK" (and here we thought it was Ted Cruz' father, Caribbean).

Lemme guess, it's "three million" of these illegal immigrants, right? Because somebody's doing the voting. Or is it "three million plus thousands and thousands on rooftops in Jersey City"? And weren't there also "three million Amish"?

That does add up. No wonder Rumples got more electoral votes since anybody since Reagan and had six trillion at his inaugurination, on a day where it was not raining --- yeah, definitely, definitely not raining, 'course People's Court at six o'clock, People's Court -- but everybody had their umbrellas out anyway due to the fact that all the men had boners and all the women were having clitoral orgasms.

As you claimed? Yeah, I knew I read it somewhere.
Why did Jimmy Carter accomplish so little during his 4 years as president?

The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.
