And that will never happen. 

It would take more than a Democratic supermajority, it would take a Constitutional amendment to get rid of the Electoral College.  The Supreme Court cannot "shoot down" a Constitutional amendment, but of course amending the Constitution is incredibly difficult regardless of the issue.  At present, there is a widely-held (accurate) perception that the EC benefits Republicans, so an amendment modifying or eliminating the EC is not going to happen, nor even get past the discussion stage.  The only way it might happen in the future is if the voter demographics shift again to the point where there is not one party who obviously benefits from the system.

We almost had a really good shot in 2004.  John Kerry lost the popular vote by three million, but he only lost in Ohio by a little over 100,000 votes.  If he had managed to eke out a win in Ohio that would have put him over the top in the EC count, and we would have had two consecutive elections in which the popular vote winner did not win the Electoral College: one from each party.  That might have been enough to create a groundswell of bipartisan public sentiment against the EC.  But sadly, that moment passed.  As long as the Democrats continue to be unable to garner substantial support from rural working class whites, it's going to continue to be a problem.

Ahead of his press conference today, the Harris campaign just released a statement with this subject line:

More accurate than any of the media coverage will be. LOL

-C!

I believe Harris will win, I believe she'll win by a lot, but she needs to win in an landslide because, well, this is happening: MAGA's plan to "legally" steal the 2024 election. Don't believe they have the horses to pull it off? These swing state election officials are Pro-Trump election deniers. 

I personally hope the protesters' voices are heard on the floor and that Kamala finds a better way to thread the needle on her Israel/Palestine messaging - thus far, it's been the major weakness I've seen from her rallies, and likely not an issue that's going away any time soon.

An earnest and folksy former high-school football coach who cracks dad jokes and throws down pop-culture references. Has anyone pointed out that Harris named Ted Lasso as her running mate?

That might be the case but change has been made in a different direction. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact currently has been adopted by 17 states and the District of Columbia. The agreement is that all participating states award their electoral votes based on the popular vote. The electoral vote count adds up to 209 votes. If more states participated it could lead to a shift in how it is decided, That might face pushback from congress or possibly the courts but the framework is there to utilize the popular vote rather than an archaic and outdated method like the electoral college.

If this years election is like 2020 (i really hope not) and there's a lot of turmoil over the results it might bring more states to the compact. We shall see. Republican Governors have typically vetoed any legislation passed to support this. So the state by state battle has typically fallen to party lines.
