I forget where I was reading it, but we often hear about the Democratic sour grapes being the reason for the support of the dismantling of the EC. But before 2016, there was majority support for getting rid of that system among Democrats, Republicans, and independents. The change in opinion between 2012 and 2016 went from 69% in favor of NPV to 81% on the Democratic side, while it went from 54% in favor of NPV to 19% on the Republican. Seems the shifting on this issue isn't the Democrats.
