Would Changing the Electoral College Make a Difference? – 2024 Update

In a prior article, we explored how changes to the electoral college would have changed the result of the Presidential election since 2000. Specifically, we explored whether using (i) the Proportional Method, and (ii) the Congressional District Method of splitting electoral college votes would have changed the outcome. It only mattered in two of the last six elections and at the time, complete 2024 data was not available.

I promised we would circle back to the question once the data was available. So did would it have mattered?

Short answer: No.

See you again in 2029!
