yeah it completely changes the dynamics
I could see it going either way, honestly

i'm not convinced of that. I don't know how it would go, but I suspect that like you said, it could go either way and generally speaking the macro results would be pretty much the same...but i'm just saying it's a possibility. We don't use it for many reasons, many really fricking good reasons.

quote:True, but since there were more (or at least believed to be more) battleground states this year, this would probably be closer to the popular vote outcome than in most recent elections.
Voter turnout in countless areas would change without the EC. We have no idea who would have won if it was a straight popular vote.
