I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    I believe the states responsible for those silly outcomes have since passed laws to prevent it happening again.

    Could be wrong, but I listened to a podcast last week with an American professor who’s pretty much written the book, explaining the history of the Electoral College and how it really works. I’m sure he said those states since fixed those loopholes.

    Either way, the damage is done today. Another four years of stupidity in charge.

      This is not correct. The electoral college is exactly as susceptible to giving the win to the person with fewer votes as it was in 2000 and 2016. It’s also not an issue that’s due to any state in particular and is not an issue that can be solved by individual state action. The NPVIC would fix it but requires the cooperation of many states and is not in effect, and has stalled pretty hard in recent years.
