At this point I swear the only reason the Electoral College is still around is because of how the popular vote tends to line up with it more often than not. There have literally only been two Presidents over the past century who won the election while losing the popular vote and they were...Bush and Trump. Uh oh. The reason it's still around is that it would take a constitutional amendment to change it, which would require 3/4 of the states to ratify it. Since more than 1/4 of the states have disproportionately large voting power due to the electoral college, it's very unlikely to ever change. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:944150078] in Politics C...
