TRUMP WON THE POPULAR VOTE, JUST NOT THE CALIFORNIA POPULAR VOTE.

—“Clinton’s 2.3-million-popular-vote plurality over Trump depends on the votes in a single state: California. Clinton has more than a 4-million-vote plurality over Trump there. In the other 49 states plus the District of Columbia, Trump actually has a 1.7-million-popular-vote plurality over Clinton.”— James E. Campbell

IN OTHER WORDS, THE ELECTORAL VOTE SYSTEM DID ITS JOB OF PREVENTING ONE RADICAL STATE FROM OPPRESSING THE REST.
