it amazes me how people don't want to know about the electoral system, or why it's there.
The US is not a democracy, it's a republic. It's a group of states that share a central federal government.
If the vote was a pure democracy, then very large cities such as New York and Los Angeles would decide the presidency for all the rest of the nation.
If you take the 5 biggest areas of the US, and count up the difference between Hillary and Donald votes, you get more than the total difference between the two.
So the whole country, except for those 5 areas, voted for... Trump.
In the past, whenever a small area controlled a very large area, there were revolutions (think Empires overthrown).
The purpose of the electoral system, and the number of senators per state, and the number of representatives, is to ensure that a small state, like Main, or New Hampshire, is not "ruled" by a large state like New York. The electoral system ensures that every state has representation.
And that was the whole reason for the US revolution - to get representation.
