The best solution for democracy and Democrats is to eliminate the Electoral College.
The best solution for democracy and Democrats is to eliminate the Electoral College.
Eliminating the Electoral College would be great for democracy—and Democrats. We have a huge—and growing—popular-vote advantage. Texas is on a seemingly inexorable path to being blue. In 2016, Hillary Clinton improved on Obama’s margin by seven points, and in 2018, Beto O’Rourke came within a hair of being the first Democrat elected to the Senate in Texas in decades. If and when Texas becomes blue, it will be electoral checkmate. California, New York, and Texas would give Democrats 122 of the 270 electoral votes right off the bat.
