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?

Right. It's absurd how people are like "small states will never vote for NPVIC because they'd be irrelevant under it, unlike the current system" where D.C. is super relevant.

Trump has admitted the EC is unfair himself. But since those are the rules, that is how he played, so to blame him is beside the point.
