It is precisely what they were saying prior to the election when the polls at certain points in the race showed Trump with clear leads. The talking heads discussed it with the experts saying “Well, he’s doing well in the national popular vote, but his real problem is in the Electoral College, which he is not likely to win even if he wins the popular vote.” Heard this over and over again...and of course the possibility of such an outcome didn’t bother them in the least...it was how the system was set up to work. When the opposite occurred, they flipped like they had never made the previous comments and the EC had to go.
In fact, if you recall, they did the same thing back in 2000 - raising the possibility that Gore could win Florida while Bush wins the national popular vote as some polls were showing Bush with a clear national lead but with it too close to call in Florida. The Founders were brilliant. Then the opposite occurs and it becomes a travesty.
To simplify it, they’re just lying.
