Just not being on the ballot in a few states would be a huge issue the MSM could not ignore, even if they were guaranteed-Republican states.

Dang right! I hadn't even considered that angle, but that might get some people in other states to wake up and get their heads out of their "fourth point of contact".

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

It would not matter, because Obama was never on the ballot.

In presidential elections, the individual voters do not vote for the president. They vote for electors, who happen to pledge that they will cast their votes for a particular candidate. The original purpose of the "electoral college" system was that the people would not be expected to know who would make a good President. Instead, they were supposed to vote for people of good judgment (electors), who in turn would assemble and hash out who they thought would be a good recipient of their state's electoral votes.

Especially with Democrats in certain states wanting to give their Electoral College votes to the winner of the national popular vote.
