The Republican Party is set to win a large majority of all future close presidential elections, even contests in which they lose the popular vote, according to a recent study.
GOP candidates for president can expect to be victorious in 65 percent of future presidential elections and University of Texas at Austin researchers analyzed why "inversions" — where the popular vote winner loses the overall election — has happened twice since 2000.
The study authors found that the Electoral College's winner-take-all approach favors Republicans and has pushed them to victories in 2000 and 2016.
The researchers concluded that inversions will occur more and more in 2020 and beyond unless a policy change completely dissolves, rather than reforms, the Electoral College.
The study released by the National Bureau of Economic Research last month...

You need to add to that list, "conduct conspiratorial coups to remove the legitimate winner of the election if it fails to elect democRATS".
To save America, left wing ameritrash socialist progressive liberal democrats must be extinguished, destroyed, exterminated
There can be no coexistence
“Translation into English: Read “we need to dump the Electoral College so the democRATS can win again.”
And from now on...
Ready for what, Newsweek?
Early on when people said ‘well, he didn’t win the popular vote’, I said - well he would have if that was the process. He would have gone after the popular vote and won it. He’s a winner.
Leftists change the rules as we go. Trump beats them anyway
He’ll win the popular vote this time.
They came for the Constitution and I am coming for them.
There is a list
Mr. Benjamin Fearnow. What a fitting name for a Leftist rabble rouser.
Hey Benjamin, nobody is forcing people to vote for certain candidates in the ballot box.
So you just need to convince more people in certain States to vote for your idiocy. Problem solved!
Every single public servant has taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution
And “more” studies means more money...
where’s the “HA_HA” guy?
Those pearl-clutching dummies at Newsweak say all this like it’s a bad thing.
I don’t know a lot, but what I do know is that I don’t want California (Calizuela), Illinois, New York and Massachusetts selecting our president every four years. So long live the Electoral College, because it’s working EXACTLY as the Founders intended (especially James Madison).
Trump will win the popular vote this time.
Leftists will change the rules after that too. I suspect their voices will begin to wane. If the house gets taken from them it’ll be a memory of a party
The culture is still reeling. Mothers abandoned our youth in their infancy to the devastating, unresolved grief of daycare then Facebook, video games and America-hating, family hating government schools and academia.
What’s the remedy for that?
Excellent Point..!
Psssttt Don't tell the democrats but we Republican's have an answer for that problem.. We just don't want them to know... :)
I will only go for the popular vote if we have nationwide Voter ID implemented! It will be a sophisticated computer program where you vote by voter ID + iris & fingerprint scan so you don't just take someone's ID and just go vote! lol
Uhh I was parodying the Treasure of Sierra Madre, where the bandidos are claiming to be Rurales. It was an attempt at humorously depicting the mindset of the Progressives.
That would bring new meaning to “as california goes, so goes the rest of the country”.
What the HELL is BALLOT HARVESTING?
Not one peep after Hussein was immaculated

Why not, we threw out the natural born citizen clause...../s
Correction:
Electoral college overwhelmingly favors America, which was its intended purpose.
Why not base elections on polls too. That seems to always work for RATS.
