If I may chime in on this popular vote topic.
If the Prez elections were based on popular vote, we DO NOT know how the last election would have turned out. We cannot simply just look at the numbers of that election because they are simply skewed from a political science perspective.
The reason why they are skewed is because the campaigns of both parties objective was to target for electoral wins, which is a big difference of campaign strategy instead of aiming for the popular vote.
Now how much difference there would be instead, its near impossible to tell. Maybe not much at all for all I know. But the point is that the campaigns would have been ran differently if the election was a popular vote, hence the numbers would have varied.
