The unbalanced nature of the Electoral College meant that the difference between Trump's win and Clinton's loss was roughly 70,000 votes in four states.

The Electoral College is an antiquated aberration that must be replaced by a popular vote. In our 24/7 interconnected world, the EC doesn't make any sense at all. More importantly, it invalidates the concept of "one person, one vote" since voters in less populous states have more influence in the EC than more populous states.
