Saying Hillary should have won

…because she got more votes is like saying, after the game, that my team won because we moved the ball more yards than yours did, even though yours scored more touchdowns.  If that had been the rule going into the game both coaches would have had a different game plan.
There is not really anything wrong with the structure of he Electoral College but it has been abused by the states that use winner take all as their allocation scheme.

  1. Husband Bill took the White House twice, both times without the popular vote, thanks to Ross Perot. Nothing new.
