It sure seems like this election is basically coming down to a state-wide referendum in PA.
Why are voters in the other 49 states willing to accept this? It's mind-boggling. There is no law that says Dems have to win the popular vote. In fact, I'd argue that if the EC was eliminated, you'd see more voter turnout in plains and mountain states where voting has long been pointless because the states are uncompetitive.

The biggest impediment to changing the EC is that it would take an constitutional amendment and 40% of the country knows they benefit from the EC.

If I’m a Pub who knows that 2 of our 3 POTUS wins (out of 8 elections) since 1990 came from winning the EC while losing the popular vote, why would I want to change the system even if it means that my vote and the vote of my state has little individual impact?

This is why we need to focus on getting the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact passed
