Trump has repeatedly said that Democrats have an advantage in the electoral college. That’s not true.
For example (in this analysis in The Nation):
“Gallup has identified 11 “strong Republican” states where support for the GOP outstrips support for the Democratic party by at least 10 percent. These states have 65 percent more representation in the Electoral College than they would if electoral votes were distributed evenly. ”
I am in favor of ending the Electoral College. Twice in five elections in the 2000s, their results differed from the popular vote.
Here’s a column advocating keeping the Electoral College from an unexpected source – Al Gore’s former campaign chairman.
Sad!
