So.. the electoral winner did not get a majority of the popular vote.
In fact, 57% voted against him.

No protests against somebody winning without a majority of popular votes - really just "stealing" the election?
How could that be?

If this hand-wringing over the electoral college were legitimate, we would have heard about it then.
If it is just an attempt to change the rules after the game was played...
Who exactly wants to steal the election?
