Thats donald trump or it was donald trump before he changed his mind a few times. He also said this i would rather see it where you went with simple votes. You know you get 100 million votes and someone else gets 90 million and you win. I quote him not for irony but because he is right and his affinity for the popular vote may reflect his instinct that a president who was elected without winning a majority is perhaps not so legitimate. Think of all the factors that have contributed to voter cynicism and alienation. Of all the measures that we could institute to help restore confidence in democracy.
