No it doesn't. And I have no idea why you think it does.
And then, the fact is, if Germany had an electoral college - and please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it should adopt one, see below - Schroeder would have crushed Merkel tonight. Now do you consider that a bad outcome? Just asking
Yes, I would absolutely consider that a bad outcome. Very bad! I have this quaint idea that in a democracy you should not be able to 'crush' an opponent who gets more votes than you do.
As to the EC in America, the main problem I have is with the winner takes all rule, not the minor distortions in the number of electoral votes.
