I was thinking that may happen. Wouldn't that be something seeing 2000 all over again, only going to the other party.
It would. It might finally give the country enough support to get rid of the electoral college since the left got burned in 2000 by it and the right would have been in 2012.
I've posed about this before. To get rid of the EC totally would require a Constitutional Amendment. However, that's not the only option. The other is for every state to do like Nebraska and Maine do. They apportion their electoral votes by percentage of the popular vote. If all 50 states did this, the electoral vote would more accurately reflect the popular vote.
