Yep.
There would be no nightmares and stress heading into next week’s presidential election were it not for the tyrannical Electoral College. When will the Dems (after 2000 and 2016) wake up and support @NatlPopularVote that makes whoever gets the most votes nationally president? -R

The electoral college protects us against Tyranny of the Majority.

Trump wouldn't necessarily lose in a Popular election contest. He would campaign differently and try to get those votes.

I recommend you read @TaraRoss to educate yourself on the reasons for the Electoral College.

“Tyranny” of the electoral college nonsense has to stop. An attitude of I’m not winning so we have to change the rules is infantile. Decisions should be made as close to the source as possible. You want to drastically shrink the federal gov, then we can talk direct vote for potus

People criticize the "Popular Vote" because people say the Candidates will only campaign in high density areas ... but now ... the Candidates only campaign in swing states ... so what's the difference ... the point being ... the Candidate with the most votes ... SHOULD WIN ...
