A lot of folks dislike the EC of course, I don't stress over it because I don't see anyway it can change.

There is a "plot" afoot among some states to get around it, but it's a bit odd, to me.

Yeah, best to give Wyoming and the Dakotas more power than they warrant.
People actually moving there for work,instead of those sebaceos welfare hamlets whose idea is to charge those with a work ethic that manged to support themselves and payed their own way

Wyoming is the leading coal producing state, producing about 40% of total US production.

Which states produce the most coal? (energybot.com)

The easiest way to lessen the impact of the Electoral College is a sizable increase in the size of the House of Representatives.

Nah. No need.

Every ten years it rolls around. NY loses two. Cali loses two. Illinois loses two.

Gains in states that do things right.

That is what works. The people choose.
