How Trump's idea to annex Canada could upend the Electoral College and American political landscape

The article discusses a hypothetical scenario where former President Donald Trump proposed annexing Canada to the United States, which would significantly alter the American political landscape, particularly the Electoral College system. This idea, while not seriously considered, was floated as a way to address the imbalance in the Electoral College where smaller states have disproportionate power due to their guaranteed minimum of three electoral votes. If Canada were annexed, it would add a substantial number of electoral votes, potentially shifting the balance of power. The article explores how this could theoretically benefit Republicans by adding more conservative-leaning regions, but also notes the complexities and unlikelihood of such an annexation due to issues like Canadian sovereignty, cultural differences, and international law. The discussion serves more as a thought experiment on the mechanics of the Electoral College rather than a serious policy proposal.
