But that would require the national popular vote act to be passed, and then Republican and swing states will actually gain influence if they get rid of the Electoral college. Right now swing states would lose influence and the Republican Party in their current form would never get another president elected again. So like I said, passing it will be a huge struggle. Yes it's a huge struggle but the effort level in trying to push through a Popular Vote Compact in a couple of battleground states versus trying to cram through an unpopular amendment is colossal. This the best way to get the amendment passed is to make it not unpopular and the best to do that is to pass the popular vote compact. After that we'll see a massive surge in popularity for abolishing the whole EC and replacing it with something else such as ranked choice because yes popular vote is rather unfair. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:946877544] in Democrats ...
