You’re missing the point. Replace DeSantis with any other Republican candidate. There will undoubtedly be another Republican win the popular vote in the future, as these things ebb and flow. Either way, my point still stands, that in a swing state, you run the risk of making the majority of your votes not count, by signing on to such an agreement. This thing makes sense for a state that is firmly red or blue, but not a purple state. What would be better would be proportional distribution of electoral college votes. Winner take all seems silly.

I never spoke about getting rid of the electoral college, so you don’t need to waste time on that with me. I agree that the system needs to be tweaked, for sure, but if you tweak it to be granted more in proportion with population than land, republicans as we currently know them likely would never win the presidency again.
