2.8+mm votes more.

The day a Republican loses the Electoral vote but wins the popular is the day we abolish the electoral college.

    The EC is part of the US problems, the main issue remains with the use of FPTP in the election.

    Get rid of both and institute proper elections, and not only will the GOP loose influence, you will actually have third parties with a chance of getting representation.

    Money out of politics first and foremost. The rest will fall in line after.

    As long as FPTP is still in place, the political landscape will keep moving to a duopoly, with a proper system, giving smaller parties a real chance you can get 6-7 different political parties in congress, that won't really be possible with FPTP.

    Since EC favors smaller state populations, which tend to vote Republican, is that ever likely to have popular vote go R but EC go D? I guess if there was higher than average turnout in Texas and Flordia who go R and less than average in California who go D it could work out, but seems unlikely.
