“The irony, however, is that Trump has benefited from this imbalance.”

I wouldn’t call it irony. Some P. T. Barnum quotes come to mind.

No problem. I was doing a little experiment to determine how many people actual read the article vs the title/comment only. It has been revealing.

Here is the actual title of the article:
Trump’s Right That The GOP Primary Is Unfair — It Favors Him

Here is another section from the article:

Trump has won a higher share of delegates than votes in 24 of the 35 contests studied (67 percent), most notably in winner-take-all contests. Winner-take-all statewide contests are less democratic than winner-take-all by congressional district (in the sense that the delegate allocation mirrors the vote). And winner-take-all by district is less democratic than simple proportional allocation. Trump benefited most in South Carolina, which awarded all 50 of its delegates to Trump even as he won a little less than a third of the vote. He also took all the delegates in the winner-take-all states of Arizona and Florida, while earning less than 50 percent of the vote in each. In 40 percent of the contests, Trump did at least 10 percentage points better in the delegate race than in the actual voting.
