If Nixon got more popular votes in 1960, he should've won, as Clinton should've won, under an ideal electoral system.
well that not how it works in america we are a republic.

Uh, what about senators?

States are also a republic (republican form of government) and govs are also elected by direct PV.

And what about France? That is no Republic?


And France has a runoff if no one gets 50%. Many US cities do that, too, as do a few other offices. If the US is going to talk about PV for president, then it should talk about runoffs as well.
