Come to think about it, a nice scenario to think about:
Bush wins the 2000 election but loses the PV. In 2004, Kerry wins the 2004 election but loses the PV by flipping Ohio President Kerry is reelected in 2008 normally (wins PV and EC, say the recession happens later) In 2012 Barack Obama narrowly beats Mitt Romney, but Romney actually wins the popular vote. Finally in 2016 president Obama loses to Donald Trump, but Obama wins the PV.
Change the names if necessary, but would such an scenario be realistic and would there be a movement to abolish the EC if 4 of the last 5 elections ended with an EC/PV split, with the EC not particularly benefiting either party?
