Your effort to move the goal post is futile, so the suggestion would be advise your party to revise their tactics and have better candidates. Is that the best solution for everyone?
??? What goal post did I move?

I am excited for the OP to put together an electoral collage. I hope he or she doesn't eat all the glue before finishing.

The Dems can pretty much nullify the electoral college advantage of the Pubs by winning a couple of additional major states that swung for DJT. He won the college in 2016 by 304 to 227, or a swing difference of 39 votes. Texas alone is 36 votes.

The Dems are really vicious people that will manipulate the system to give themselves a better chance at winning. All they care about is winning. We only need to look at the fit they threw and successfully blocked the question about citizenship on the 2020 census.



All the Dems care about is power and they will do anything to get it.
Maybe you should research how many electoral votes defected from Clinton to Trump in 2016. The electoral college is a joke. There is no federal law or constitutional statue that says that the electors must vote the popular vote in each state. This last presidential election saw the biggest defection in 100 years in favor of Trump. Why?

Unless there are killer robots and time machines involved, I'm not interested in this conspiracy.

Currently the plan is to whine about it until they win.

At that point, the Republicans will create a furor over illegal voting or something else and then whine until they win.

Actually my term is more correct unless someone spent 4 years at the "electoral college" trying to get a degree !!! A more intellectual individual, someone who can grasp higher concepts, with an open mind, might wonder what was behind the change in wording !!!

A simple understanding of the definitions would be a clue !!!

Collage - results from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole

National election -
(Each state runs its own elections and the results are assembled, creating the new whole winner )

College - A college (Latin: collegium) is an educational institution or a constituent part of one. A college may be a degree-awarding tertiary educational institution, a part of a collegiate or federal university, an institution offering vocational education, or a secondary school.

( So as anyone can see, collage is a more accurate description !!! Anyone who spent years at the electoral college working on a degree should consider asking for their money back unless they are satisfied with the glue they ate !!! )
