No he didn't. Hitler never won an election until after he installed the SA inside polling booths.

It's ironic but the EC is there to prevent a popular vote election from electing a foreign-controlled, unqualified populist demagogue from winning.
And so our founders created the very mechanic that actively led to their nightmare.
Actually the EC alomg with the senate were there to ensure that the slave states held the balance of power and stop the election of an Abraham Lincoln.
They were a grubby compromise made between the oligarchs of New England and the South.

There is no person who is worthy of more than one vote.
Tell that to the US constitution. If a California resident has one vote, the an Alaska resident has more than twenty in Senate elections and a similar multiple in presidential ones. And even house elections, the ones supposed to be democratic, are gimped to fuck and back.
The US politcial system is little better than Russia's.
