It's incredible!!!  Over 500K signatures so far!

I wonder how many it will get from people who didn't vote for Hillary because they thought she would win and they could comfortably "protest" her candidacy.

I wouldn't mind seeing the electoral college go, but amending the Constitution would require a fair amount of support from people and states who feel that it's the only way their voices can be heard.  I don't think many of them are being heard anyway, but they don't feel that way.  I also think that getting rid of the EC would not result in a country where the candidates try to reach everyone.  We'd wind up with a new type of 'swing state' that would be seen as the most efficient path to a victory, and those would get all of the attention.

And then we'd be asked to sign petitions to restore the electoral college. :p

When a Republican loses the electoral vote but wins the popular vote, it will likely happen then.  Remember the "Democrats for Democracy" plot that Bush and Cheney came up with to to convince Democratic electors to switch their votes in the event that Bush lost the electoral college but won the popular vote, even though the exact opposite happened.
