QUOTE (dannyboy @ Nov 10 2016, 10:05 AM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) Clinton won the popular vote, so in fact more Americans wanted her than wanted Trump in the White House. It is a tiny majority, but it is a majority.
The problem lies in the antebellum American Electoral College voting system. No more of a problem than our own first past the post system. Neither country has proportional voting. I wonder if the Brexit result would have been different if it had been on a constituency basis rather than a plebiscite.
