Potentially good news in that regard, JB. Democrat-controlled states have been moving towards nullifying the Electoral College by passing laws which mandate their electors must support the candidate who won the majority of votes, regardless of which candidate won the most votes in that particular state.
At this point, if they chose to prioritize the matter, Democrats control enough states that something like 283 electorates would go to the popular vote winner, thus surpassing the 270 needed to be President. However it's not certain if Democrats will actually prioritize this, there were several Democratic-controlled states which had the opportunity to pass this law who have declined to do so, and there would probably be a legal battle involving the Supreme Court if it ever actually became a thing.
