The majority of the people is the majority of people. There is no other rational possibility.

It's well known that someone could win the electoral college with only 21% of the popular vote (if those voters are distributed in just the right way). That isn't what democracy means. We don't give rich people extra votes. We don't give white people extra votes. We don't give rural people extra votes. We don't give liberals extra votes. Every citizen gets the same single vote.
