Richie...you DO know that you're hiding behind a provision that was established to allow the less-populous SLAVE states equity with the more heavily populated states in which the voter-to-slave ratio was far greater, right?  Easy to see why "put 'em in their place" and other such phrases remain part of your repartee.  Besides, someone in here has already provided concrete examples where the likes of Reagan, Tricky.Dick and Daddy Bush won the popular vote and thus the election--in two of the aforementioned cases TWICE.  This in and of itself disproves your specious rationale.  Wrong AGAIN.  At least you're consistent.
