Demographics, States trending - GOP’s opinion on EC

[MillennialModerate]

There has been a lot of talk about certain states changing their color because of demographic changes. There is a lot of debate about what states will shift and how long it’ll be until they do so and if other states will cancel them out (for instance some sun belts trending blue, midwest shifting red

As we know there has been a lot of rumblings amongst Democrats about getting rid of the electoral collage after 6 Dem popular vote wins out of 7 elections and only 4 ECV wins.

Well let’s say Arizona turns purple, Georgia turns purple, North Carolina turns blue/Purple and maybe just maybe even Texas looks blue at some point. If that happens and Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota don’t trend red at the same rate or maybe even at all - and let’s say that leads the Dems to win 3 or 4 decisive presidential races in a row...

Do you think the Republicans become the knee-jerk reactors and push for electoral votes via congressional districts? Something they could undoubtedly manipulate.

Why would they do that?

The ec doesn't give a stronger voice to lower population states, only to swing states. It massively increases the importance of florida, but south dakota and nebraska are rendered even more irrelevant.

What about the people in those small states who vote against the majority? Their votes are rendered entirely worthless by the winner-take-all nature of electoral votes.
