Sure, maybe that's a coincidence. Or maybe it's just a reflection that the system doesn't genuinely reflect the will of the people.

It does seem to matter a bit more with the power people have given to the Executive branch. When the POTUS is going to claim he's authorized to use executive actions because he's working off the will of the people... but the same guy lost the popular vote... it's kind of silly.

I'll take that as a: "we cannot accept how we've elected POTS for the past couple hundred years."

It could be a coincidence or it could be the candidates understand how the EC works.
