It's a factual statement that more people voted for Clinton period. Whether that would have been different without the electoral college is conjecture.

Yes. It also is a factual statement to say that all those votes were made by people voting in the current system and with the current system in mind. All my points still stand.

Point taken.

If anything, I think the current system suppresses the vote. I'm in a red state so my vote never counts.
