In 2016, Ms Clinton had 2,868,691 more votes nationally than did Mr Trump, according to the CNN website.
In California that year, she had 4,269,978 more votes than did Trump. Therefore, if you remove the California votes, Trump won the popular vote as well.
If you want to get rid of the Electoral College, then you are allowing one state, California, to choose the president.
It's also time to seriously consider breaking CA into three or four separate states.
With over 40,000,000 people, it is one of the world's largest nations all by itself.
The USA being a Republic, Trump won the popular vote hands down.
Trump won the popular vote in 30 states and did not in the other 20 states.
The whole idea of somehow mixing all the votes in one huge tub is entirely un-american, since we are THE UNITED STATES of America, and each state counts.
