Last night we saw democracy in action. Last year we saw the Electoral College in action. The Electoral College is not democracy.
This is a common misunderstanding about EC and it isn't true. This was the practical effect in 2010 and 2016, but it's not an inherent property of the EC system. Instead, the EC introduces random "rounding errors". Could work in other direction next time.
