Also none of these Things listed make the statement that Trump didn't even win the popular vote useful. All of the criticisms exist whether he won 47 or 51%. The list
Of concerns you identify are the real problems. Him not winning the popular vote is not.

I don't really give a rip about the popular vote. I care that the part of the country that generates the might of the nation, was completely dismissed. You Albertans are always so pissed that the election is decided by the Maritime provinces, Quebec and Ontario, and your economic might is under-represented. This is a situation where the vast majority of the industrial capacity of the United States voted one way, and lost. That is mind numbingly stupid and a sure sign the system is not broken, its been shattered into the million pieces that the Republicans used to redistrict and gerrymander the country.
