DOUGLAS GOLDEN  PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 26, 2019 AT 10:44AM  Share	 Tweet	 Email	 Print When Donald Trump won the 2016 election, the first few days and weeks saw liberals beset with howling about how the Electoral College needed to be done away with. Sure, the whole point of the election was to win 270 electoral votes, which is why the candidates allocated campaign resources the way they did. Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote must have been salve to her ego, but that and $11.99 could have bought her a 12-pack of Yuengling. She also had twice as much money as Trump to blow over the course of the campaign and couldn’t win Michigan, Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, states that hadn’t gone red since the Nintendo Entertainment System was considered high tech. The bleating over the Electoral College eventually morphed into different forms of whining, first alighting on fake news before finally settling on “the Russians done did it” and settling there for the next few years. That didn’t mean that the attempt to cripple the Electoral College ever really went away, however. This past week, Colorado became the 13th state to pass a bill that would give its electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote, no matter who won the state. According to OregonLive, the states’ compact doesn’t go into effect until it has enough members to deliver the 270 electoral votes to the popular vote winner. They’re less than 100 votes short of that. Most of the states that have passed the legislation generally go blue in presidential elections. But therein lies the eventual problem for Democrats here: The number of states that are truly, reliably liberal is actually quite small. A Gallup study released Friday shows that only six states qualify as “more liberal than conservative.” This is compared to 25 states that are “more conservative than liberal,” including 19 where the gap is so large they’re considered “highly conservative.” “These findings are based on aggregated data from Gallup’s 2018 tracking poll in which respondents were asked to indicate whether they describe their political views as liberal, moderate or conservative,” a Gallup news release stated. “States in which the conservative-liberal gap is 20 points or greater are considered ‘highly conservative.’ The ‘more conservative than average’ states have gaps of between 15 and 19 points. ‘About average’ states’ residents prefer the conservative description by seven to 14 points, and those with gaps of zero to six points are considered ‘less conservative than average.'” Perhaps most alarmingly for the left, no state could be considered “highly liberal.” The closest was Massachusetts, where 35 percent of respondents described themselves as liberal and 21 percent as conservative. That’s a gap of only 14 points in a state where Ted Kennedy could dependably be returned to the Senate each electoral cycle — no matter what rank public dissolution he had engaged in over the past six years. Compare this with the opposite end of the spectrum: “Mississippi ranked as the most conservative state in 2018, with 50% of residents identifying as conservative and 12% as liberal, for a gap of 38 points. Twenty-nine percent of Mississippians said they are moderate, and 9% had no opinion.” In addition to the six states where the gaps were “more liberal than average” (Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and Washington) nine states qualified as “less conservative than average” (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Maine, New Jersey, Oregon and Rhode Island). https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D0TXOTyXcAAWc3K.jpg ‏ @wjboynton @wjboynton Great news!
