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

That notion of Madison's was itself a compromise, still unconvinced that the slave states would accept direct popular vote. I would throw in the caveat, though, that in order for the compromise to be palatable, representation would need to be increased such that there is no disparity in the number of citizens per Elector between the states that exceeds 1.5:1. Meaning in no state should it take twice or more as many people to make up one Electoral vote as it does in another state.

Legit question. Won't that be fixed in 2020 with the next census when the populations are re-calculated and votes evened out?

I admittedly might be mistaken, but I was under the impression that was at least in part why the whole citizenship question on the census was such a big deal. To prevent non-citizens from counting towards EC votes (and House Representatives).
