No it matters when a candidate wins the popular vote by a huge margin but the minority vote wins the election. It matters because that is wrong - there is something wrong with that scenario.
The last time it happened with a much less margin was Gore vs Bush. The majority vote would have better for the country then too. No Bush, No Iraq War combined with tax cuts for the rich. Trump says Iraq invasion was a huge mistake based on Bush lies. Good reason to favor the majority's decision rather than an antiquated decision that has twice in sixteen years favored a horrible choice for President.
No, it is not wrong. Take California alone out of the equation, and Trump wins by a substantial margin both in the popular vote and in the EC vote.
Take the three largest cities in California out of the equation and Trump wins by a smaller but still a good margin both in the popular vote and in the EC vote.
Trump not only won the electoral vote by a wider margin than we have seen for three decades, he won in 85% of the U.S. land area compared to Hillary's 15%. He won 90% of U.S. counties to Hillary's 10%. Further if all the absentee ballots in California had been counted--3 million of them have not been counted as Hillary was ahead of Trump by well over 3 million votes in that state--these are estimated to most likely reduce her margin of popular vote victory to well under 1%.

The EC insures that a very few heavily concentrated population areas cannot be padded with enough voters on one side so that these areas have the power to control every single election.
The pathetic scam by Jill Stein, aided and abetted by Hillary Clinton, cannot possibly overturn the outcome no matter what happens. All it accomplishes is helping the ladies' pay off their campaign debts while further undermining Trump which is a huge disservice to the country.
No patriot or intellectually honest citizen should condone it.
California is a State that encourages voter fraud and illegal alien voters. That they would get to drown the States that fight voter fraud with inflated voter counts would be to end liberty as we know it
