@davejorgenson: Can the ‘blue wave’ wipe out the Electoral College? Democrats' sweeping statehouse gains Tuesday have opened a path to effectively replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote in time for the 2028 presidential election — without needing to amend the Constitution. The results could give Democrats the legislative power to fundamentally change how America picks its president, potentially ending the possibility of winning the White House while losing the national popular vote. Democrats have won control of the governorship and both legislative chambers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada, enough to push an agreement called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact beyond the 270-vote threshold required to take effect. Caption from article by Andrew Pantazi, Axios.

Because the weight of one’s vote should not be based on zip code.

why can't we just have ranked choice voting? I want to hear everyone's arguments why ranked choice voting is inferior to this system that Dave is explaining here.

I'll be honest, I think a well educated founding father could figure out a projector running on literal bright light from a box and mirrors.

Imagine if the electoral vote had ever resulted in Dem winning over a Republican who’d gotten the popular vote. It would be gone so fast.

I still haven't heard any reason why you can't split the electoral votes from each state according to the internal results
