In several elections, most recently in 2000, the candidate who lost the popular vote became president. a) how is this outcome possible? b) do you believe this is a fair result? provide one argument in support of this result and one argument against.

Democracy in America doesn't work on popular vote, rather, it works on the electoral college.
