bighairymike: Apparently you are forgetting it is the Democrats who clamor to eliminate the Electoral College...

Yes, especially this well-known democrat who just happens to be the leader of the republican party, Donald Trump: "The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy. A total sham and a travesty. I would rather see it, where you went with simple votes. You know, you get 100 million votes, and somebody else gets 90 million votes, and you win."

bighairymike: ...or to create a couple new Blue states...

There's been interest in making Puerto Rico and DC states for quite some time. As far as I know, it has not yet happened. And Long Island is larger than Rhode Island and more populous than most existing states. In short, not a bad idea.

bighairymike: ...or pack the Supreme Court.

That's rich. In case you missed it, the republicans already did that by refusing to bring forward the Garland nomination and by turning over the nominating process to the Heritage Foundation.
