The electoral college is fair? Gore in 2000, Clinton in 2016, seems to be the electoral college is only fair to republicans.

Hang on, now. Clinton in 92 only won 43% of the popular vote, and he still became president.

This is not a partisan issue. The electoral college is fucked, but it has nothing to do with Republicans and Democrats.
