Not really, they've been in the same spot with this for a long time. When they get a state Donald Trump won in 2016 on-board, wake me up, until then this has less electoral votes than Hillary Clinton received in 2016.

As Nate Silver said, they're about out of low-hanging fruit for their propaganda victories.

They only need to keep turning one state at a time to make it happen. If the come up the middle of a red state, during an election, they will move quickly to turn it blue.

They aren’t turning states; hence the fraud.

I know that. I was referring to the laws they pass, like legalizing drop boxes and ballot harvesting and legalizing illegals being able to vote.

Doesn't matter anymore...
With the addition of about 30 million MIVs to the dark voting rolls, no election is contestable...

The usual GOP circle jerk is getting underway early...

2020 was the final election that would even attempt to give a fake sense of honesty & legality...
With the ascendency of the current GOPers in the House, any expectation for the future being fair and honest is absurd...

Nowhere do we see or hear the GOP including attributes like "Constitution", "freedom", or "liberty" in any of their strategies, plans, or actions...

Their actions, ultimately, mostly include attributes like "cowardice", "incompetence", and "impotence"...

Don’t underestimate the Rat scumbags. They’ve succeeded in establishing mail-in voting.

Despite the odds and complications, it most certainly matters.

Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

— Communist goal #15
A bit much to expect the Republican wing of the Uniparty to use words such as “Constitution”, “freedom”, “liberty” et al that contradict their true goals. Right?

Dear Robert. Precisely because we don’t have a democracy but instead have a Republic we will always need the Electoral College. Pure democracy sets us up for tyranny of the majority. That’s why the nation was set up as one.

“…the entire process of selecting our president… threatens the foundation of our democracy.”

And yet, we still have a 'democracy' because of it. Frickin' Clymer.

The democrats have been after the electoral college since I was a young’un. I thought they had given up on it, silly me. I need to remember, the rats never give up on anything, they just attack from another angle.

They'd have Rule of the Mob just long enough to usher in The Rule of the Communist Party, a la China.

The liberals just want the entire nation under the thumb of California and New york, and they will not stop until they get it.

a national popular vote would force candidates to campaign across the entire nation.

Nonsense. Who would go to WY when there is CA and millions of votes per whistle stop?

We already see the manipulation of the vote in such blue states as PA and CA...among many others through unaccountable mail in voting and ballot harvesting.

If we don’t stop these bass turds literally and physically, we might as well just stfu. The fight will be over.

It's the single most important part of the Constitution that saves us from a dictator....and we're not far removed from one at the present.

The Dems were actually able to thwart the electoral college intentions by being very specific to getting out the vote in areas which would be pro Dem...and could flip a state.

We all saw it happen...all of a sudden....areas with high Dem registrations would flip the totals.

It was something that the writers of the Constitution feared..."What happens when there are more "have nots" than "haves".

See 55 Men and the constitution by Rodell.
