So WAS this a repudiation of "politics as usual"?

What? Say What Say What   There is no "statistical advantage" when all votes are lumped together. The fact that you voted in NY or CA doesn't mean your vote counts more or "skews" anything. 

If the popular vote were run like the electoral college, then you would have a point. If Hilllary wins CA by 51% and all 100% of the votes go to her, then "density" would skew the popular vote. But that is not how it works.

Or perhaps you think that "statistical advantage" would be lost if the US population were spread evenly per square mile over the whole country?
