Electoral College on the chopping block: Democrats now have the power to end it. Will they?

On 2026-11-09 the article reported that Democrats flipped state legislatures and governorships in five key states, including the fictional Blexas, Bliowa, and Blansas, after the recent midterm elections. This shift gives Democrats the legislative power needed to pursue a constitutional amendment or other mechanisms to eliminate the Electoral College.

Ending the Electoral College would fundamentally alter how presidential candidates campaign, shifting focus from swing states to a nationwide popular vote, which could advantage parties with broader urban support. It also creates a major regulatory and legal overhaul that will affect election infrastructure providers and political risk assessments across multiple industries.
