No, zero chance. There is no way you will get states to agree to forever nullify their electoral influence. If you really want perpetual one-party rule, granting DC and PR statehood are also unlikely but far more realistic than abolishing the electoral college, which will literally only happen when the US itself is dissolved.
- yokaze 6y agoYou need only the states which hold a majority of the electoral votes. The only states with electoral influence are swing-states. Every "blue" and "red" state has practical zero "electoral" influence, meaning their topics will never be as important as the swing state ones.
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y agoAny state can become a swing state, it just needs to vote less decively in favour of one party. Do that, and it'll suddenly start mattering more on the national scale.
- zhoujianfu 6y agoExactly.. it can eventually pass because there are (way) more states that gain from an NPV than lose from it.
