Getting rid of the electoral college would be a good thing. It is also essentially impossible to do.

Getting rid of it by constitutional amendment requires the buy-in of 38 out of the 50 states. That does not seem possible.

Getting around the need for a constitutional amendment by a group of states simply agreeing to give their electoral votes to whomever wins the majority vote nationwide is not much more of a realistic possibility.

Human Nature 101: Whomsoever has power clings to it.

maybe when Texas and GA go blue the Rs will have a rethink and suddenly be amenable to a popular vote

Yes, I think you are both right. It will need to be at a time when neither side believes that that the electoral college gives them an advantage.

But we don't have to be completely cynical. There are many, many people who will support ditching the EC just because it's the right thing to do.

The LR lib echo chamber only cries about the Electoral College when it goes against them. This is classic sore loser groupthink.

IA, OH, TX, GA, FL are a lock for Trump right now. NH is going to flip red. MI & WI are tilt red. MN is a tossup and PA is a tossup. Trump will get 313 electoral votes, minimum.

Enjoy your loss.

Florida seems to be tightening up a lot...Biden's lead is shrinking.

If 538 decides Trump is leading in FL, the odds of a Biden EC win drop dramatically and overnight.

Although there is always a lack of quality polling in big expensive diverse states.

To achieve a level of public activism to have a chance at this kind of change, we need a more educated population, willing to see beyond red vs blue politics. It ain’t happening.

Hi agip - hope you had a good weekend. What does this smell like to you?

“Two other employees familiar with New Breed’s financial and payroll systems said DeJoy would instruct that bonus payments to staffers be boosted to help defray the cost of their contributions, an arrangement that would be unlawful.“

Come on leg, catch up with the rest of me.

It means yet another trumper is a criminal, buying a government position.

There have been many, many, many criminal trumpers buying positions in government.

Doesn't mean that there is a plot to somehow foil vote by mail by wrecking USPS.

Cancel culture cry baby Donnie.

Good news from AZ.

The Trump campaign pulled advertising from the state, and new polls suggest it is getting toward lean D rather than toss up.

538 has it at 60/40 favoring Biden.

A blue AZ would make it much easier for Biden to win in the EC. Wisco has 11 votes, AZ has 10, so losing WI wouldn't be a disaster.

In all of RCP's battleground states:

-Dementia Joe is at or below 49% in all of them

-Trump has gained 3% (mostly undecideds) in the past month

-Most are within the margin of error

My prediction- Trump gets 313 electoral votes, minimum.

Oh man Biff, the hole you have dug is very deep. You cite only partisan right-wing polls, the betting odds are once again moving more and more in Biden's favor, Lichtman has predicted a BIden win, Fox News polls predict a very big win for Biden.

334 for Biden. You remain the dumbest person I have ever encountered. When this is over, you need to look at your life and your warped opinions and make a change. You support a guy who called dead US military personnel, "losers". WTF is wrong with you?

I don't qualify as a Lib, I guess--have never voted on the Democratic line for anyone--but I would certainly take Joe Biden over Donald Trump. I plan to vote for America rather than for Trump.

It doesn't bother me that Biden, like Trump, is trying to avoid getting sick--after all, they're both males aged 70+. And if a guy with a speech impediment, who's know for costly gaffes, has sense enough to avoid answering questions on the spur of the moment, I'm okay with that. Trump's method--either to ignore a tough question entirely, or to say something that doesn't actually answer it--doesn't seem any better IMO.

Plus Biden hasn't committed any felonies that I know of, so there's that...

Extortion, bribery and foreign corruption are all felonies, I believe. Plus, what he did with Tara Reid is much worse.

Shut up, Sally. Loser.
