So if one wins the popular vote,

If one wins popular and one wins the electoral college, will you personally revolt in the street? Bear in mind that this is constitutionally the way its been done for 200+ years.

um....no, it has happened before, and will happen again.  The electoral college was done out of interest for states rights, but seeing as how federal laws have come to be an all encompasing set, even on things that should be governed by states, it may as well be done away with.  This happened recently, in the 2000 election.

No.  The electoral college, flawed though it may be in its current form, protects minority and less franchised voters.

I tend to think it's come to a point where we could just referendum our own laws. Fuck politicians.

While, amazingly enough, disenfranchising many other voters.
