Nice game plan GOP with option 2. I hope you become irrelevant.

In fairness, the electoral college is ridiculous. It should be reformed.
However, the GOP's proposals for reforming it manage to actually be LESS democratic; they want to use gerrymandered congressional districts to allocate electoral votes.
Under their proposal, Romney would have won the election despite losing by 5 million votes in the popular vote.
In their defence, this proposal is easier than changing the entire culture of their party to suit the mood of the American electorate. Democracy is hard!
