Media Financial Incentives for Abolishing the Electoral College
A theory is presented suggesting that the media's push to abolish the Electoral College is driven by financial interests. Currently, political advertising spending is concentrated in a few "swing states" like Pennsylvania, leaving media properties in states like California and New York without significant revenue. A national popular vote would force candidates to spend billions on advertising in major media markets across all 50 states.
