Old enough to remember when CW was that Republicans had a "lock" on EC, coming out of '80s! https://www.jstor.org/stable/420829

Also important to note that Democrats still wanted to get rid of the electoral college even when it benefited them. For example, the popular vote compact started during the Obama years
