Fact:
In two out of the past five elections the electoral college has awarded the White House to the loser of the popular vote. Let that sink in … three million more people voted for Hilary Clinton in 2016, but 77K votes in three key mid-west states swung the entire presidency (That’s smaller than some college football stadiums)
