        The dems should have gotten rid of the EC when Gore “lost”. Instead, they got a repeat scenario with Hillary. Will Biden make it a threepeat?

          What would it take to get rid of it? IIRC we’d need a Constitutional amendment, right? I mean there’s also the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It wouldn’t technically get rid of the EC, but same difference afaik. (I just worry about that one bc even if enough states agree, it seems like it could be relatively easily killed by a court decision or new legislation.)

            Dunno. But they didn’t even try. Even when they held the majority in both houses of Congress and the presidency.
