Our system is pretty unique. You can win more votes and still lose.
Show me another Democracy that does that.
Canada for one - 2 of the last 3 elections have put a party in power
without a plurality in the votes. (2019 and 2021)
It's theoretically possible in ANY jurisdiction where you have local
elections for seats and one party wins each district by a differing
number of votes - for instance if one party wins by margins of 50000+
votes in their districts and loses by margins of 1000 in other
districts, if there are more districts they lose they win they can
easily have more votes but less seats.
This can even happen in countries with proportional representation
systems when the seats are proportionally distributed by state. (Or in
Germany where this happened by 'lander' which is effectively the same
thing)
The United States is by no means unique in this respect.
Plurality works here too. That's how Clinton won.
But this isn't that. This is the guy who gets LESS votes than his opponent taking office.
