I find the whole popular vote schpiel to be little more than someone being a sore loser. HRC lost... it happens. If there was no EC.. presidential candidates would only really care about 16 states. Win most of those 16 most populous and a win is highly probable. Being the afterthought does not exactly stir up a bunch of civic pride.

I use Va as an example.  Much of this state is rural/suburban and those areas lean conservative.  BUT we have 5 or 6 large urban areas that lean democrat and those areas drive elections in majority state elections for governor and senator.  

This is from the previous governors race that Northampton won
