We can expect even more pointless, futile railing against the Electoral College by Democrats demanding a national popular vote now that their presidential prospects in the key swing states are so bad. I am so old that I can remember the Democrats crowing over the Blue Wall of 18 states that consistently voted for the Democrat presidential candidate for five straight elections, starting in 1992. Back then, they thought the Electoral College was genius.
