It's worth thinking about, John.
According to a new opinion piece penned for The Nation by Justice Correspondent Elie Mystal, eliminating the Electoral College is the best way to save American Democracy from Republicans — and to save Republicans from themselves.

Because there's simply no getting around it: Republicans have lurched into extremism. According to Mystal: " The Republican Party, as currently constituted, cannot win in a democracy, and that is so well understood that antidemocratic strategies are now baked into the party’s DNA ."
But what is less well understood, John, is the way that the Electoral College is fundamentally enabling this extremism, by preventing any reckoning within the party over it's many unpopular positions.
They simply don't have to reckon with them — to moderate — because they can win by gaming the Electoral College system, rather than by winning over the majority of Americans.
John, greater than 65% of all Americans support our movement to END the Electoral College.
The time has come.
We've set an ambitious goal to raise $20,000 to help Pro-Popular Vote Democrats push forward legislation to enact the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and END the Electoral College, once and for all. We need to show the country that our grassroots movement is ready to move past this archaic, dangerous system forever. [[link removed]]
