I'd be all for moving to a full popular vote, or at least some kind of election reform. I can think of a number of benefits. Most of all, it would stop elections from coming down to essentially decisions in a handful of states, and make candidates care about all 50 states. I have no doubt that numbers in states like California and Texas would be different if either of the candidates had to put real effort into getting their messages out and speak to voters.
However, I just don't see it happening. Republicans might have been out of power for around a quarter century if we had a popular vote. I don't see there being any incentive for the GOP to want change on that front.
