Fortunately, conservatives don't need a majority.
While liberals from the north, likely retirees move south, the south gets a little more D leaning, but gains in population (thus more EC and congressional representation).
The paradox is that while the south gets more blue, and the north probably gets even more blue because the older people who move are probably a little less liberal than those who stay, the changes in the south aren't dramatic enough to flip states so the gains in representation only makes the EC favor Rs more.

Hypocrite libs. Water is wet.
Can you meet in the middle and admit both sides do this stuff? Without saying one side does it more than the other?

Please do. I'd be interested to read more on that.

Well y'all have the entire MSM on your side so it's kinda obvious one side does it more

Well. That and winning places like California by multiple millions doesn't change the EC at all.
And, winning congressional districts with 90% of the vote still only results in 1 congressman per district.

No, a smart person would realize Rasmussen just isn't quite as slanted.
In other words, the criticisms you are making about the left are fair in general, but you're taking a stance that is an even better example of what you're criticizing.

Personally, I wish the EC was comprised of congressional district winners, and winner take all for the 2 "senate seat" statewide votes. That way it maintains the fundamental purpose of the EC, but minimizes the disproportionate value of votes in swing states v. partisan states.
But then again, this would be most ideal if congressional districts were drawn logically and objectively, based on a formula that tries to minimize geographic and population disparities, rather than subjectively drawn districts trying to manipulate partisan and demographic characteristics.

Polls don't mean shite but still fun to see libs sneer about ones they don't like

No one cares about the polls until they support their narrative or bias.
