What a waste of time. In most instances the winner of the popular vote IS the winner of the electoral college. As a matter of fact, the Electoral College causes a landslide in some instances where the popular vote is actually much closer.
The electoral college protects the small states. Without it there would be an uprising from many les populous states.
They just don’t want another 2000 where Gore “clearly’ had more votes, so for them it is well worth it. But the closeness of 2000 is the reason to oppose their plan.
