yes, I agree. The EC works well when it works. Sadly, it has failed us lately by not doing it’s job and conceding to the popular vote.
Does not always go with the popular vote.
Recall in 2000, Algore won the popular vote, but the EC went with GWB.
Doesn’t happen often. But I think there have been four instances in history when a president was elected by the EC, or Congress, but did not win the popular vote. John Q. Adams, Rutherford Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, and GWB.
You mean like in 2000?
I recall G. W. Bush won the Electoral College and Gore won the popular vote. G.W.'s answer to a reporter was he ran a campaign to win the Electoral College. If elections were decided by popular vote he would have run his campaign to win the popular vote.
What do you mean conceding to the popular vote?
