Senator Boxer Introduces Bill to Eliminate Electoral College
"This is the only office in the land where you can get more votes and still lose the presidency," Boxer said in a statement. "The Electoral College is an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect our modern society, and it needs to change immediately. Every American should be guaranteed that their vote counts."
[...] "When all the ballots are counted, Hillary Clinton will have won the popular vote by a margin that could exceed two million votes, and she is on track to have received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history except Barack Obama," Boxer said.
Trump will be the fifth president in U.S. history to win the election despite losing the popular vote. George W. Bush won the most recent such election, in 2000.

Who knew??! My goodness, they're really expert at it -- look at those prices!
The bones of a conversation I had *twice* while living in SoCal, with nominal adults of apparently-average education:
Them (munching hamburger): Killing animals is wrong!
Me: So where'd you get that hamburger??
Them: McDonald's.
*facepalm*
