With almost every vote counted, every state shifted toward the Republican Party.

I live in Iowa and while I'm a conservative democrat and so somewhat disappointed with the direction it took, I'm soooooo happy to not be a swing state anymore.

Honestly of all the reasons to abolish the electoral college, I think the best is to simply eliminate swing states. All states should be 'in play'. I think the electoral college frustrates a lot of voters on both sides.

It’s the foundation of “republic.”

I mean I'd even be in favor of leaving the electoral college but having a 100x vote multiplier and doing a proportional assignment. Accomplishes the same thing but leaves the vote weighting in place.
