The LAT argues today in favor of a loony bill from California's loony legislature (which should be working on the budget crisis) that would try to make the Electoral College a non-factor in presidential elections.
Democrats are still smarting from the 2000 election in which Gore got more of the popular vote but lost to Bush in the Electoral College. That has happened a few times, very few. It isn't likely to happen again but could. Next time, however, Republicans could be on the losing end. But Democrats want to make sure it never happens again because they are sure Democrats will always win the popular vote.
The whole thing is silly. The LAT's arguments are manufactured.
