I've always wondered what would happen if the entire Electoral College went the way of Maine and Nebraska, where an electoral vote is awarded to the winner of each Congressional District, and two electoral votes given to the overall winner of the state.

And before you cite previous studies that show nothing would have changed in past elections, let me remind you that those studies were based on the existing votes cast. In some very dark blue states like Kalifornia, there are likely a lower turnout from conservatives because they know their state is going Democratic so don't even try.

And I'm sure the opposite is true in very Red states like Texas. No doubt Austin would go Democratic.

Very true.

But if all of a sudden....conservatives start thinking that their vote counts....in California and other states...that is when the tsunami builds.

It actually “could” happen this time. Don’t know if it will, but it could....
