270 Or Bust April 10, 2019April 10, 2019 Picking up from yesterday . . . (“According to a new poll, 55% of Americans favor abolishing the Electoral College.

Each state would still have two senators, so the sparsely populated, overwhelmingly white, states would still have far more than their proportional share of power overall, and a disproportionate say in the composition of the Judiciary Branch.)
