I wish I could remember where I read this but I do remember reading that in 2004 the Bush people were fully prepared to argue they won if they got more popular vote and Kerry won electoral college.

You misremember. They thought they would win the popular vote and lose the EC in 2000, not 2004. But they were prepared to argue the EC needed to go then.

I know about 2000 but I'm pretty sure in 2004 as well.
