If you listen to Rush Limbaugh, you will know he already predicted this would eventually come. When the Left/Democrats can't win according to the law, they seek to change it or subvert it. They are trying to get rid of the Electoral College and are even now scheming ways they can change their participation in the Electoral College as it exists now to undermine the process.

The elites don't want thinking peasants.
