Remember that time the Supreme Court decided our 2000 presidential election? I do. OP must be old...
Or the 30 years of Rehnquist that helped set the tone for the fiasco we've got with the police today.
First election I voted in and my parents were still suprised pikachu about the whole electral college shit even though I kept saying this is bullshit when I learned about it a few years before in HS...
Tbf before that the last time it had become an issue was the late 1800s
Before 2000 there had actually been a significant push by Nixon to get it abolished because until 2000 conservatives agreed that an outcome where the EC and Popular vote were out of sync was bad and should be avoided, and IIRC the effort lost steam because the shock of realizing it was "possible" was outpaced by everyone dismissing that "well that hasn't happened in decades! It won't ever happen again!"
Goddamn dimples and chads…
