A population of voting citizens of a country, state, etc. who consistently vote for candidates whose goals are counter to their own economic, social, health, and educational needs. They can see that these candidates abuse them, but they rationalize it away, blame others for their predicament, & remain crawling loyal to them none the less.
For example, a battered electorate syndrome is exhibited by American white blue collar workers who vote for GOP candidates, completely violating their own economic interests. Even worse, after the GOP candidates woo them through the election, the minute the election is over the GOP is back in bed with the mega-wealthy making promises & coming through on them. The GOP knows they can sweet-talk their electorate into accepting that they must sleep with these billionaires to bring the gifts of trickle down economics to their electorate. Meanwhile the billionnaires are importing their new yachts & firing more employees in their most recent company efficiency overhaul, and of course sending more jobs overseas.

The only way Trump can win the 2020 election is if he can pack the electoral college to his advantage and win.
The terminology stems from "pack the supreme court" which is basically adding more justices to the supreme court to make the outcome decision in favor to the packer.
In "packing the electoral college" the packer basically packs more electoral college votes into the states that they won to the point where they have the required majority to win the election.
Trump: "We lost all the law suit cases Rudy. Now what? What are we going to do? "
Rudy Giuliani: "We still have one option remaining so that we can still win. "
Trump: "What option is that?"
Rudy Giuliani: "We pack the electoral college with electoral votes in the states we won, until we have the majority to be called the winners."
People think that it is unbelievable if a presidential candidate wins in the electoral college but has 5 to 10 percent LESS popular vote. This definition shows an absurd and extreme, but illuminating example of how the loser in the presidential election can have an arbitrarily high percentage of the popular votes compared to the winner, i.e., way more then 5 or 10 percent.
Suppose there are 540 electoral votes. Divide the states into two groups, one having 271 votes, the other 269. Suppose in the "271" states, only 1 person in each state votes Democrat, 0 Republican. Suppose in the "269" states, 0 vote Democrat, millions Republican. Then by the electoral college majority, the democrats win but the Republicans have a million times more votes than the Democrats.
In the 2012 presidential election, it initially appeared that we might have an electoral college paradox. But the Democratic popular vote came back up and it was avoided.

A slickly composed mass mailing method used in state and local elections assailing a grassroots candidate with hyperbolic lies funded by corporate “dark money.”
I can’t wait for the shock and awe electoral bombing to begin right before the next election!
When a man in elected office engages in sexual congress with a member of his community.
To fuck some bitch you have power over in her ass.
From the Simpsons: "Tonight, the mayor's pleasure is pole-ing the electorate."
"Damn bitch, I guess I wouldn't be much of a senator if I didn't pole my electorate once in a while. Suck that cock!"

A well functioning multi-party democracy with a popularly elected government where Nuland hasn't managed a successful color revolution, yet. A key component is a big enough military to make overt military intervention too costly and embarrassing.
State department hack 1: We have been trying and trying but none of the fake protests we organize in country X have managed to bring about a regime change yet.
State department hack 2: Tell Soros to get one of his Scandinavian proxies to declare country X an electoral autocracy. That will show them.
DoD Austin: Fine, but can we stay friends with them though? We sorta need them to counter country Y now that we ourselves are thoroughly deindustrialized, deeply in debt, out of ammo, out of planes, and short of military recruits.
Sleepy Brandon: Mitterand! What now? Corn Pop! Whoop, diaper change. Ooh, you shmell nice.
When a president wins the presidency because they won the most electoral votes, not having won the popular vote.
tRümp was electored into the presidency.
