Democrats despise the electoral college. Perhaps they should get over that

‘Very typical of Democrats to prefer mob rule over a constitutional process’

if the pubbies had the same ability to win the popular vote as the dems, they’d want to do away with the EC as well...

if you want to jiggle the EC, do away with winner take all primaries...

There is a graphic at Wikipedia but it doesn't reproduce here.

With the exception of the Carolinas, Wisconsin, Alaska, and Arizona (and possibly Michigan and Minnesota if we really stretch things), those states are all likely to go Democrat .

It would be strange to see New York, California, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Maryland, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii and DC electors forced to vote Republican, but knowing Democrats, I don't think they'd do it.

The wisdom of our awkward Electoral College (EC) goes far beyond the matter of relative electoral weight between urban and rural voters. Thank the Framers for doing more than diffusing presidential votes across our vast nation.

They designated electors to each of the three political branches with the purpose of each institution in mind. As opposed to the House and Senate, whose members know their employers and thus whom they must satisfy, the Framers’ President was unbeholden to the people-at-large, states, Congress, faction, or collection of factions – what we know as political parties.

Our Remarkable Electoral College.
