If George W. Bush lost the 2004 election by narrowly failing to carry OH, do you think there would have been a real push to amend the constitution and abolish the EC? If only ~200k votes on OH shift, Kerry wins with 272 EVs while still losing the NPV to Bush by more than Bush himself lost to Gore.
With the EC twice producing a vote loser as prez in a row and with both parties going through the same frustration, I think there could have been a real chance for reform. Was possibly the best shot we ever had to end the EC and elect the POTUS by popular vote.
