Maybe that's why the rats are busy doing what they can to effectively eliminate the Electoral College by passing these "winner of the national popular vote gets our electoral votes" acts in individual states.
They’ve been pushing that since Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral vote; it really showed how the electoral college prevented many smaller states from being dominated by a few big ones. Gore had a deliberate strategy in that election that ignored many smaller states; if he had just won West Virginia (never mind Florida - and it shouldn’t have been hard for a guy from Tennessee) he would have been president.
