The Florida scenario would also mean that she would have won with 21 States and the District of Columbia (see the atttached pic for how this all would have worked out).
If anything, the fact that the popular vote is meaningless is one of the more significant reasons for voting Green (toss in the Environment is far more my "single issue" if we are going there).
While people may try to shame people who vote third party, the fact is that the popular vote is meaningless as long as the Electoral College is in effect.
Additionally, the Electoral College protecting the small states argument is also fallactious.
If anything, the 2000 and 2016 Elections have demonstrated that the Electoral College is another relic from the US Constitution that needs to be purged.
