Right now, there is a potential for a recount/review/redo/whatever in FL, NM, IA, WI, OR, NH and maybe 1 or 2 other states.

Everyone is "blaming" the electoral college.

But consider this: With the popular vote differential nationwide on the order of 100K votes +/-, if there were no electoral college, guess what?

The losing candidate would want a recount in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 50 STATES PLUS D.C.

So, to those who want the EC abolished, be careful what you wish for.
