IMO, there is growing dissatisfaction with a system whose outcome is in opposition to the popular vote on a regular basis. It's not a question of playing by the rules, but a more fundamental will of the people question.

The problem with our system is it's so open to manipulation. If for example some of those tech hubs relocated to Florida they could dramatically change election outcomes. And the idea that moving voters is this important really defeats the entire concept of democracy.
