What will happen if we win the popular vote but lose the electoral college again

[kennetha]

Trump's only chance to win reelection ... assuming his is not removed from office and barred from holding any future office ... is to win the Electoral College while losing the popular vote.

I've seen reporting that indicate that he could very well do that. Indeed, the gap between the national head-to-head polls in which several democrats best him and more recent battleground polls in which he more than holds his own, suggest that we may be headed toward another minority presidency.

especially if some third party candidate jumps in.

especially if we get a little strategic voter suppression in just the right place

and especially if the Ruskies lend another hand to Trump and the Republicans.

Which raises the question, will that be enough to finally spell the end of the Electoral College. How big of a gap between the popular vote winner and the Electoral College winner will it take for Americans to finally say that all votes should count equally and that the person with the most votes, not the person with votes in the right places, should be the winner?

1. As long as the party in power has an advantage with the EC

We’re stuck with it. The minute the Dems win an election that way it will be gone.
If it happens again maybe it’s really time to talk about secession.

2. Nominate

Biden and we won't lose the EC.

3. All three of your "especially" points

are going to happen.

We know that's the only way they can win, so we work backwards from the end point and do everything possible to stop it, professionally, voluntarily, and by contributions.

4. Time to focus on all the swing states and include the rural areas.

5. If we have a fair and secure election in 2020 things will be fine. The election in 2016 went

to tRUMP due to ratfucking ratfuckers. We know what they do and how they do it and we can stop it.
