How big of a vote gap would it take for you to drop the Electoral College?

The "system" in question here is also about equality between states.

As someone who grew up in a state with only one representative, I side with Justwin on this, with some qualifications.

10,000,000 votes is my threshold. But I don't think the alternative is to abolish the electoral college. It could be reformed or adapted.

My votes are likely to align with California's, even the San Francisco area.  BUT the nation will not hold together if Urban America's say in national affairs is massively reduced by abolition of the EC.

The bigger question is still what produces the "two Americas" phenomenon.  Foolish to think reducing "flyover America's" say in national affairs will fix things.

PS if our virtual immigrants, Hollo and Arturo voted, then I call voter fraud and declare this poll invalid. I propose the moderators develop some form of on line ID to protect the integrity of polls about the Constitution.
