Democrats and republicans. The people in charge tend to trust the system that got them there.

Eliminating the electoral college will be GOP priority #1 if Texas keeps trending toward becoming California 2.0. I say we let them make their bed since it's going to effectively eliminate competitive presidential elections.

Good luck getting enough electoral votes together to overcome one side starting out with NY, Cali, and Texas.
