The real reason the Slimes wants to get rid of the EC is that it is a major barrier to election fraud.
No matter how many votes the Dems cook up in Chicago, NYC, LA, etc, it doesn't matter past the point that the Dems "win" those states.
The only states where fraud will really help the Dems then are the battleground states where their political machines are unlikely to be very strong, and rampant fraud somewhat likely to be caught...
So, remove the EC, and all the sudden the fraud we all know goes on in big cities via Democrat election officials allow them to "win" every presidential election that isn't a Republican blow out.
You're right on the money. If the EC goes, the United States can become another Venezuela in just a few years. We need a Bush landslide to silence this talk (at least for a while.)
