How big of a vote gap would it take for you to drop the Electoral College?

You cannot (IMO) point to a factor that was not part of the dynamic and say "see this is a legitimate factor". Every candidate (their strategists) in that election ran knowing how the EC works and they campaigned accordingly. It's just like stating the Buffalo's victory against Miami should be called into question because Miami had more yards and that was a legitimate factor that should be noted in the outcome . Make the rules before the game the team with the most yards wins and you have no issue, but go into the game knowing the team with the most points wins, then total yard is moot (aka not legitimate)  

You're arguing that the EC wasn't a factor because we have always had the EC and that candidate know this going into the election and it was they campaigned with that in mind... so you're actually arguing it was the primary factor.
