If the election was based on a popular vote then the whole system would change and the process of trying to gain votes would be different. There's no saying which candidate would have won the popular vote if that was the basis.
And I'd imagine plenty more people would actually bother coming out to vote. For example, the republican turnout in California would increase quite significantly considering they aren't battling the electoral college. |

Assuming nobody could ever change what party they are going to vote for you may be correct. But since people are allowed to change their minds, you're just guessing. If there was a change in voting system we would have to wait and see how that changed the elections and how the general public voted.
And I wasn't making the case that it would benefit the republicans or democrats overall, just that you would see a higher voter turnout overall and see places like California having a higher percentage of republican votes than normal. |
Cali went pinko a long time ago.

Democratic voters got complacent and didn't get their asses off of the couch because all of the pre-election night polls had Clinton winning big. Yet she still won by almost 3 million votes. The Republican turnout this election was unheralded since Donnie boy was painted the underdog by the "big, bad, press", so all of the good ole boys wanted to have his back. Yet he still lost the popular vote by a ridiculous amount. The election system in the US needs some maintenance. And in other news..... Quote:
