It's also not without precedent that Trump could get to the Whitehouse and yet lose the popular vote:
Quote:
In 1800, 1824, 1976 and most recently in 2000, the Electoral College System has elected a different president to the popular vote.
Al Gore won the nationwide vote by half a million votes in 2000 but was four Electoral College votes short of the presidency.
George W Bush won in Florida by just 537 votes, meaning he had more Electoral College votes and seized the White House.
