My point is that this idea of votes not being entirely representative is hardly unique for the US, but people focus so much on ‘how stupid the US is’ where a party can get more votes but still do not get presidency/senate/house/whatever, where it is very similar in many other European countries.
For what is worth, despite the possibility of it happening, I do not think that it happens in the House for the party with most votes to actually win fewer seats.
Berbatrick literally just provided the 2012 example of exactly this happening.
