There's really no such thing as a "popular vote". Sure it's a number that represents how many voted for each candidate, but it means nothing on a national scale. I don't give a rat's ass about the popular vote.

Popular vote isn't used to elect people. If it was, we'd had Al Gore in 2001. The EC was meant to allow a group to vote for president, and if need be, vote against what the people want. This is what should have happened last month, but too many are blind.
