in reality, the “popular vote” is won by the side with the best, most robust, well financed fraud machine.

But that's "fraud".

"Popular" refers to people.

HilaRAT did NOT win "the popular vote".

We’re speaking of different things entirely.

I’m speaking of a function, you’re speaking of a concept.

I agree with your concept. But functionally, if it can be frauded, it will be frauded. If there’s money involved for someone to gain, it will be taken over by criminals.

This is why the “popular vote” is meaningless. It serves no purpose but to allow a fraud machine that can be kept to only those places known to be safe from prosecution if discovered and still affect and infect the nation as a whole.
