Los Angeles County has more people than any of 40 states. That is, only 10 states have more population than Los Angeles County does alone.
That means when Democrats have large majorities in the largest population centers plus that's where the illegals mostly congregate, the popular vote from those relatively few large population centers can be more than all the rest of the country combined.
The EC was established by the Founders to prevent most of the country being disenfranchised by a few large urban centers looking to their own interests and not caring about anybody else. The large population areas still have an advantage but not as much advantage. The EC at least gives everybody a voice in who will be President.
It isn't a spoiler. It is good government.
And several well known Democrats have suggested they'll do away with it if they ever get the chance to do so. If the education system was still educating instead of mostly indoctrinating these days, the huge majority of Americans would know why the EC is the only justifiable system for electing the President.
Also the Democrats want a larger Supreme Court so long as it is a Democrat appointing the new justices. I'm pretty sure if Trump is elected in November, they will NOT approve enlarging the Supreme Court.
Of course if a totalitarian government is established none of this will matter. The Constitution, Bill of Rights, and all the protections they provide will in all likelihood be history.
