What region are Democrats the party of?
My point is that the Democrat-controlled areas *disproportionately* denied Republican groups (black voters) the right to vote. The EC limited the effect of that. In a national popular vote regime, Cleveland got more votes. Should that be a win? Yes or no.

If we're counting those votes at all, then, yes. Actually, I think that absent the Electoral College, national Republicans might have cared more about the margins in the Solid South instead of writing off the region, although I don't know the history there.

It is true that the only good Electoral College argument is when you have concentrated fraud in safe states, as I've said before. But I still think it's better to try to address that problem than to system-design around it.
