His points are extremely valid. The republicans will soon have a hard time, probably beginning next decade as apportionments change due to shifting state legislatures. I see AZ becoming more Democratic, as well as FL, NM and CO and VA is well on their way.Despite this, I nope to never see the electoral college abandoned. It is the last bullwark against some really crazy person (and it should have kept bush out of office, had it not been for the SCOTUS deciding the election) getting into the highest office in the land. There is some serious wisdom to retaining it. |
