That wouldn’t matter in a popular vote.
THANK GOD the Electoral College is nearly impossible to get rid of!!
Trump has said if they used the popular vote he would have campaigned in CA and NY and still won.
Since he would not need to win those states, but just peel away 3M more votes, that is plausible.
When enough states that add up to 270 EVs are organized under the pact to vote for the national popular vote winner, the Electoral College will be neutralized. And my reading of Article II is that state legislatures are empowered to decide how the state’s EVs are cast. I think enough legislatures to provide 190 EVs has passed legislation signing on to this agreement.
So, Trump lost the *official popular vote by 2.8 million, but after you subtract the 5 million illegal votes in big cities and California, he WON it by 2.2 million.
