Question-What is the largest difference in voter margin possible when the winner of the Electoral College loses the popular vote.
As we sit and ponder how one candidate
who received nearly 5 million more votes than
the other candidate can win by just the narrowest of margins overall.
The answer is rather simple if one looks at the mathematical foundation
of the system used to elect our president.
It could be a whole lot worse.
Is it easier to get the support of 28 people or 82 million people?
The mathematical structure of the Electoral College makes this a reality; Unity=loser Division=Winner
