The GOP is fighting any efforts to change the constitution when it comes to the Electoral College. It might be because of the facts. In the past 7 president elections, the GOP candidate has won a majority of the popular vote once. The GOP has won in the Electoral College 3 times during those seven elections. 2020 may be another time when Trump/GOP lose the popular vote but again win the White House. That would mean that in eight elections the GOP candidate won the popular vote but once and yet won the White House 50% of the time. I have read that this time Trump could lose the popular vote by as much as 10% and still win the WHite House because of the Electoral College. So it would seem that the GOP has every reason to want to keep the Electoral College and I suspect will fight any attempt to change the system to a popular vote.
