It seems more and more dems are calling for the repeal of the electoral college saying it would be more fair to go by the popular vote. Of course this comes up now that Clinton won the popular vote by a little more than a million votes (peanuts in percentage when one crunches the numbers)

Phaack that. Without the EC, the election would most often be decided by NYC, Chicago and LA, bastions of liberal voters. People in flyover and rural areas would have no say at all.

Instead bigoted northern hillbillies, the religious fanatical right and the Amish get to decide instead. 
Yeah that's so much better.

But Trump said it's all corrupt anyway, didn't he?

No one seemed to bitch when Billy won in 1992 with less than 50%.
All in all it's fair, otherwise we'd have the population center like New York, Cailifornia etc. deciding for the rest of the country. I suppose it's a moot point but if you'd like to change this Hymen all you need to do is get 2/3's of congress and the senate and 38 of the states to change this.
Good luck with that.

Don't know where you think you're going with the 1992 election.. only 52% of eligible voters even bothered to vote, of those, Clinton took the Popular Vote as well as the Electoral College... you continue to post your parroted factoid propaganda..

No, Billy took about 43%, Bush and Perot about 57%, this Billy didn't pull the popular vote. It doesn't really matter though, it's all "water under the bridge "
Just like this election is.

Spin yourself into a tissy idgit, Bush and Perot weren't on the same ticket, before you start your next spin I voted Perot..
Clinton carried the popular vote majority of all the candidates as well as the electoral college in 92, totally different from the situation in the 2016 election cycle.

^^ I know Bush and Perot weren't on the same ticket, Bush ran with Quayle, Perot with Stockdale. Once again Clinton did'nt carry the popular vote meaning he didn't have more than 50%, pay attention moron 
Turnout for election night was 58%. I even used PBS for a source, perhaps if you ask nice they can get Big Bird to explain it to you.
