Quite so. And the other major factor there is the candidates would campaign differently rather than writing certain states off. I am 100% in favor of retaining the EC and it is not going away anyway regardless of what I or the dems want. The dems have pretty much found their successful strategy which is all the various voting scams - drop your ballot off at Arby's drivethrough and get some jalepeno poppers- kind of scams. Their next move is to allow federal voting online and then the states will say "me too." Once they establish a system that rewards all the idiots of the world it will be democrats as far as the eye can see. We are more than 80% of the way there now.

Political parties are dynamic.....the fact that this country is 50/50 is because Political parties adjust their philosophy to pick up different groups of voters Who would have thought that Democrats would be the party of the wealthy and the Republican would be the party of non-collage worker voters With direct vote you would see the republicans go into the cities and promote school choice, law and order in the black communities....so far they haven't done that much...but they are moving good with Hispanics...If the republicans get Hispanics its the end of the Democrats Likewise you would see AOC and Bernie out in the farmlands trying to invoke Williams Jennings Bryant socialism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Gold_speech
Member of Biden's Supreme Court 'packing' commission says adding justices is dangerous to democracy and would 'destroy' an institution that has been stable since 1869 To pack the court would impair the court, not improve it: destabilizing it, further politicizing it, and complicating its basic work of hearing and deciding cases under the rule of law,' he wrote. ADVERTISEMENT 'And one needs a willing suspension of disbelief not to see that court-packing would inaugurate an era of re-packing, destroying the court’s function and character as a court of law.'
