With so many Democrats unwilling to simply admit that Hillary Clinton wasn’t an effective candidate when it came to what was necessary to win in 2016, the New York Times editorial board has joined them in saying the Electoral College needs to be fixed or scrapped so no such horrors happen again:

Many on the Left didn’t seem to mind the rules as they are back when they were convinced Trump would have a very hard time getting to 270. But now it’s come to this…
