I ' m glad other people realise this . I disagree with the electoral college as much as everyone else , and I don ' t want president Trump either , but you can ' t change the rules of the game after you ' ve played it . Everyone knew what the rules were and they played the game accordingly , if the rules were different we can ' t guarantee that everyone would have voted the same way . If you know you live in a swing state you might vote differently than if you live in a safe red or blue state . I ' m not saying Trump would still have won , but you can ' t take these results and apply them to a different game . Yes , there should be a push to remove the electoral college , definitely . It ' s a dumb , outdated system , but until they lost most people weren ' t even talking about it . This election is over , Trump won fair and square as it currently stands . Let ' s push for a change in the future .
