"This stat here you posted rang loudest. Not the one in bold.
Popular vote total:
Trump: 62,958,211
Clinton: 65,818,318"
The way our government is framed, the only way to truly get to a popular vote would be to abolish all the states and start over with some other form of government. One can argue it could be accomplished via amending the constitution, however that will never happen. The "smelly Walmart people" that live in the majority of the states that voted against the prior losing candidate would never ratify such an amendment, and it takes 3/4 of them to agree.
"Popular vote is the only fair way and takes some of the corruption out of our government."
I'm assuming you have some way to back such a claim up?
