Electoral college: how Trump could lose the popular vote and win again
In most election cycles the electoral college results have been in sync with the popular vote. In the electoral college Trump won handsomely – by 306 electoral votes to Clinton’s 232. By Sabato’s reckoning, that rift between the electoral college and the popular vote could be stretched further in November and see Trump win again. On the other hand, as the demography of America changes, the distorting influence of the electoral college appears to be growing. But run his support through the American electoral system and yes, sure, it’s possible he could win.”
