Letter: Why Hillary Clinton lost

In the Nov. 19 edition of the ADN, Paul Jenkins claimed that Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election because of “repugnancetoward her.”

That’s counterfactual. She lost because of the constitutional fossil known as the electoral college.

In the popular election — underscore popular — she beat Donald Trump by 2.9 million votes.
