Think you’re misunderstanding. I’m not defending the legitimacy of the EC. I’m saying that until a time when it changes, pointing to the popular vote as a true identifier is not fully valid. You’re perfectly entitled to challenge the rules. I think they need to be re-considered as well. I’m just pointing out that the results will change if you change the dynamic. Maybe better for Dems maybe not.

FYI I’m very grateful today that Nebraksa does it they way they do. I have a decent amount of family in Omaha and that one vote might yet tip the scales.

I'm grateful to Nebraska, as well. It's a bit more reasonable how they allocate EVs but still flawed in my estimation due to gerrymandering of congressional districts.

I appreciate that you may think I misunderstand your point. Perhaps I went too far afield in my 8 bazillionth rant against the EC. You'll have to excuse me. It's been a bee in my bonnet for more than 30 years. Still, making the assumption an outcome based on the suggested change in the rules will be different is no more valid than my suggestion that it would not. In fact, given the available evidence in elections of the last 20+ years, I'd suggest mine is the better argument.

In any event, let's work to find out!!
