Ted,there is no,popular vote.
Both parties know the game, the goal is to win the electoral college. That is what their 2 years of strategy and campaigning is based on. How to win 270 EC votes. They do -not- strive to win any sort of popular vote.
If we wish to change to a popular vote election for president, both campaigns would be run entirely differently. If that is the direction we go that is fine.
But for 2016, the race was to win electoral college votes, there is no basis on counting popular vote. It is not part of the campaign, and so is a meaningless number.
If your candidate lost and you see those 'popular' numbers be different than the EC numbers, it is frustrating.
But it is not comparing apples to apples.
No mainstream presidential candidate has tried to win a popular vote in centuries. It is a made up number, not valid. Both sides would have run differently if a popular vote had been the goal. So the number is meaningless.
Without the electoral collage the divide between rural working people and urban centers would be even greater than it is now. Rural areas would become even less represented. but that is a different conversation.
