People are still whining about the popular vote?
1. If presidents were elected based on the popular vote, the campaigns of Trump and Clinton would've been entirely different. There's no way of knowing if Trump could've drummed up more overall votes with a different strategy.
2. States like New York and California, with huge populations of mostly democrat voters, would pretty much decide every election for the entire nation. Hardly fare to the rest of the country, which has many varying sets of morals, beliefs and economic issues.
The electoral college is far from perfect, but it's in place for a reason and it beats the alternative.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
