    No, the suggestion here is that the people supporting the popular vote are doing it because they got burned in 2000 and 2016.

    Had it gone the other way, they wouldn’t be agitating for it.

    If Trump somehow wins the popular vote, but loses the electoral college, WA, OR and CA will be THRILLED.

      Your suggestion is wrong. Eliminating the Electoral College is advocated for by everyone who supports Democracy. It is also not a coincidence that the Electoral College disproportionately benefits one party over the other. And to cement that advantage they employ anti-Democratic measures in an attempt at voter suppression.
