Irony Bill Clinton won the electoral college and had the most votes. Trump did not even have the most votes. That's a significant "point" of difference.

Why now is it such a sore subject? As far as the $$ goes, I agree that both parties have prostituted themselves out to the highest bidder. You are correct. Bill Clinton won a plurality (not a majority) of the popular vote in both 1992 (42.9%) & 1996 (49.2%.) Link It's a sore subject now because of Trump/Russians/Collusion or something.

Our system doesn't allow run-offs. But it does allow candidates without even a plurality to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a sore subject. A misconstrued interpretation of simple facts is more like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
