The problem here is not the Electoral College, though it does have issues. In 2000 Bush only "won" due to the fraudulent actions of Florida Republicans, including FL Secretary of State, Katherine Harris. We see the same exact shenanigans during the 2016 election with Republicans in state power invalidating mail in ballet votes, preventing Blacks and minorities from voting, etc. Nearly every election we see Republican shenanigans, trying to stifle minorities from voting and desperately invalidating votes for Democrats. By and large the problem is with the Republicans, who have been in minority for more than 20 years, and executing their own "minority rule" by whatever means necessary, including using absurd falsehoods and outright fraud. If DC and Puerto Rico were granted statehood, which is only Constitutional and fair, we'd never see another Republican President ever again, nor a Republican controlled Senate. Conversely, if everyone always voted in their personal economic interests, we'd never see another Republican elected to any office, anywhere. But as it is, 99% of the Republican Party always votes adversely to their personal economic interests, whether it be for economically irrelevant distractions such as abortion or 2nd Amendment issues, or for the delusion that someday they will be rich, and voting in the interests of the rich at their own economic expense. It really is absurd, especially because Republican administrations are responsible for all the economic recessions in the last 45 years. Wake up people! Stop propping up the rich at the expense of your own personal economic interests! If you earn less than $400K/yr, you are a fool to vote Republican, and you are hurting America, and yourself.
