For those who supported hillary, she won the popular vote

Democratic presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton finds herself on the
wrong end of an electoral split,
moving ahead in the popular vote but
losing to President-elect Donald Trump
in the Electoral College, according to
the latest numbers emerging
Wednesday.
As of 8:10 a.m. ET, Clinton had
amassed 59,163,675 votes nationally,
to Trump’s 59,027,971 — a margin of
135,704 that puts Clinton on track to
become the fifth U.S. presidential
candidate to win the popular vote but
lose the election.

Today in the morning I was shocked to learn that Alaska (as big as it is) has only 3 electoral college votes.

Hawa wamarekani hawaeleweki. What’s the need for voting then? And also what’s the criteria for electing college members? @The_Virus una majibu?

The college system also does factor in the population density…much land in Alaska in barren ice.

Just consider it a layered democratic system. Electors are also elected (to the Federal) houses.

The system has served the USA well for centuries. A popular vote winner who loses the electoral college race knows beforehand and should just accept.

They are lucky it was not Trump who lost that way.

Makes a mockery of the saying ‘majority have their way, minority have their say’
