text: When it comes to popular voting there have been times where no canidate has a mojority cast of votes and the Electoral College Prevents that problem. In  1968 Nixon received 43 percent pluraltiy or more votes than the other canidates but still not receving a clear majority of votes in the popular votes same with Clinton in 1992 but they both won majority in the Electroral College, so there was no need for and run-off election.
