@rphb I don't quite understand how I'm "rendering the popular vote absolutely meaningless with my definition of it". The popular vote is (at least in US presidential elections), in practice, already meaningless.
Like I already said, the popular vote winner refers to the candidate who got more votes than any other candidate, not all other candidates combined. The popular vote means next to nothing in the US presidential election. Everything in the US election is based on an electoral college.
