That the number of electoral college votes is not -actually- uniformly representative of population, or that getting a majority in the majority of states won't -actually- get you the majority vote (actually...we're seeing that now, where clinton carried just a few states, and is still gong to snag the majority).
I suppose we could do the math and work up how many electoral college votes clinton would have gotten if they parcelled them out based on percentage, and also just allowing that some votes are worth more than others....and I'm guessing clinton would have had more than she did, and trump less. That's just a guess, I could check.
