GOP lawmakers are growing increasingly concerned over signs the 2026 midterm elections could be a wipeout for Republicans that could cost them control of the House and shave down their Senate majority by two or three seats.
There’s growing anxiety in the Senate and House GOP conferences that Trump’s sinking approval rating will create a headwind in swing states and districts.
But GOP lawmakers say they still have time to improve their party’s image before next November.
The rules are get 270 electoral votes, not get the most votes. This generally requires winning the majority of states.
Except you can “win” the election with something absurd like 27 votes, against 100 million.
Any system where that’s an actual possibility is fucking stupid.
Sure in theory if only a single person voted in the 12 largest states you could win that way, but that’s not really possible.
You can also “normally” win just the smallest states, and win with states representing only ~25% of the population. If you want something more realistically fucking stupid and completely disqualifying for an electoral system
That’s equally hypothetical, winning the ~36 smallest states by a single vote and getting no other votes.
Any result that have happened yet is hypothetical. The fact that it is possible should be immediately disqualifying
