Because it isn't a determinant of anything. The electoral college, not the popular vote, determines the winner. That's been my point all along, and I've been consistent with that argument. This was my whole point about causal and explanatory power. If you are determining what causes electoral victory, it is not the popular vote.

I know what determines the winner. My point is that winning the popular vote nearly guarantees an electoral win as well, as I've shown through historical elections.
