If the EC were abolished, how would the Republicans win?

They would adapt, very fast. I've seen a few people living in this fantasy land where the electoral college is abolished and no republican wins ever again, but this would not happen. Expect the Republicans to change their game plan and adapt to win over more moderates and independents. It wouldn't change much about the rate at which Dems or Republicans win, but expect a lot more effort out of both of them to win over every vote as opposed to just visiting swing states. Both parties would probably moderate their stances heavily, I think.
