Every time the American people are polled they say overwhelmingly to abolish the thing. You already have 2 states that are proportional, when Coloradans approve their ballot measure today they'll be the third. Dominos falling a few at a time.

Can't let this one go by, it's just too inane. It doesn't matter what the American people think. Only 13 small states are needed to block a Constitutional Amendment to abolish the Electoral College. The votes in question in Colorado, Nebraska and Maine still are in reference to the Electoral College, last I checked. It isn't one man, one vote, and it is within the rights of state legislatures to determine how their electors are chosen. And a person in Wyoming still will have more clout with their vote for President than a person in California.

You can pretend you're doing well in this exchange. Of course, you also are pretending that we shouldn't be concerned about judicial selection as a result of this election.
