conulyIt's the next best thing to ditching the Electoral College all together. So, you know, if you live in one of the states that hasn't signed up (most of them) you should definitely write to the people who could put that in action.
From now through December I'll be amusing myself with the little fantasy of Electors in swing states (those without laws against it) revolting and casting their votes for Clinton. I don't imagine it will actually happen - and certainly not in any sort of numbers that matter - but it does present a charming image. Imagine it! We could get rid of Trump and probably the Electoral College in one fell swoop and quite within the law!
Maybe we'll get very lucky and Trump will do something so shockingly awful between now and the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December that it actually will happen. I can't imagine what, given that nothing has been awful enough up until now, but I can dream.
(And I don't want anybody puncturing my pretty fantasy with grim reality! I know perfectly well I'll have to wake up to the dreary truth sooner or later, I don't need your help doing it!)
(I also don't need anybody pointing out that if this did happen, one half the electorate would be furious, and they're mostly the ones against gun control. I'm well aware of that fact as well, thank you.)
