Not if we let everyone do it . <| sep |> I meant the decision , but keep the dream alive if you want <| sep |> False equivalence . Winning the Electoral vote does indeed define the winner of the Election , but it is like the county vote a chunking of individual votes . The Electoral College is designed to roughly track state population , while county size is completely arbitrary . Popular vote is a well accepted standard for most other elections , and gives legitimate insight into how the voters actually voted . Counting counties won is like counting buildings won , or counting streets won . Mildly interesting as a statistical factoid , but absurd to draw any political meaning from . It . Again , this is just Breitbart trying to confuse people about the FACT that over 2 million more American voters voted AGAINST Trump . Trump won an election , and the power that goes with that , but he does NOT have an unambiguous mandate or even majority popular voter support .
