President-elect Donald Trump won every single battleground state and the popular vote, however not by a landslide.
During his latest appearance on “Meet the Press,” Donald Trump brought up the election’s popular vote unprompted. “One thing that’s very important, in terms of the election, I love that I won the popular vote — and by a lot,” the president-elect boasted. The claim was demonstrably foolish: The Republican won the popular vote, fair and square, but according to the latest tallies, the margin was 1.48%.
In the United States, presidential elections are already based on the Electoral College. This isn’t a model Democrats are demanding; it’s literally the status quo that’s been in place for centuries. What’s more, if Trump is convinced that Democrats are somehow eager to champion the Electoral College and leave the system untouched, I’d remind the Republican that there’s overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
