    I had to make sure I wasn't losing my mind, and yep, five years ago the CW was that the Electoral College was biased toward Democrats... http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/is-the-republican-presidential-vote-inefficiently-distributed/ …

        It really shouldn’t be biased toward anybody. Kerry almost pulled an EV/PV split in 2004 in Ohio. The winner take all system warps the whole process.

        ? He lost Ohio by 2.1 points and lost the country by 2.5 points.

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

        Heck, W & The Genius thought they had created an electoral lock in 2000.

        And indeed it was, but people tend to forget that electoral college bias tends to change from year to year.pic.twitter.com/ZB3mpqtMQZ

        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

        You are arguing in this article that the *change in EC bias* was toward Democrats, not that the college is overall biased towards them.

        And you also state that the House is biased towards Republicans for many of the same reasons we now recognize that the EC is biased towards them.pic.twitter.com/M3ufcg7PG1
