'Though Republicans disproportionately benefited from the electoral college in 2000, when Bush edged Gore despite getting 544,000 fewer votes, Democrats nearly turned the tables four years later.'

How exactly did they turn the tables? By managing to lose the election again which the Dems did? The Dem legislature in CA is as stupid as it goes, it may not pass the senate and Arnold would most likely veto it.

How exactly did they turn the tables?

See the boldface word above? Bush won the popular vote by a little over 3 million. A 50,000-vote swing in Ohio, and the electoral vote would have gone to Kerry.
