Some readers defending Iowa Democratic system by pointing to Electoral College: Hillary won popular vote while Trump won presidency. A few points: 1/3
1) The Electoral College is in the Constitution. It is not the easily-changed creation of a state party. 2) The Electoral College is based on winner-take-all popular vote contests in the states. 3) The popular vote, by state and nationwide, is widely reported... 2/3
Until now, Iowa Democrats did not even tell public who won popular vote. And 4) Some Democrats want to eliminate the Electoral College. Yet in Iowa they have created a system where a candidate can lose the popular vote and win the election. 3/3 End.
