Much discussion on liberal radio about going to straight popular vote vs Electoral College (because Hill got about a half million more votes). Of course, if that happened campaign strategies and tactics would be changed to be optimized for a different scoring system. Also, I'm sure many red voters in big solid blue states (like CA or NY) stayed home (because their votes couldn't change electoral outcome) but would suddenly have a reason to vote. But the main problem would be recounts. With the current system, only one or a couple states need to do recounts. With a close vote using a popular vote system, every state would need to recount. Like FL 2000 on steroids! What a horrible prospect.
