The Democrats do need to broaden their appeal, Hillary should have done better. However, this is a long shot, but there is a thing called the NPVIC.

Boo.
Let's expand the House instead.

See my previous post in this thread.

Guys, in order for the Electoral College to be eliminated, three fourths of all states would have to vote in favor of that proposal (Constitutional Amendment). That is never ever going to happen. Small states, which dominate the Electoral College, will never vote for the Amendment that would effectively render them irrelevant.

So, let’s stop this futile discussion about elimination of the Electoral College.


You realize that the NPVIC exists? And that Vermont and DC are part of it?
