I heard someone on YouTube stating that if Trump had won the popular vote in 2016 while losing the electoral college, his supporters would have rioted and Republicans would have successfully pushed to abolish the EC.
Do you think this line of speculation would have been accurate?
[FYI: FiveThirtyEight's final forecast on Election Day 2016 indicated that there was a 0.5% chance of Trump losing the EC while winning the PV, so this scenario is certainly not out of the question, however far-fetched it may seem.]
Nothing would change
