When you take into consideration that there are about 146 million registered voters and about 20 states have open primaries that allow independents to vote, that difference in primary votes is pretty small. It also is not a guarantee that all of those people will vote for Trump of the 31.1 million only 14.01 million actually voted for Trump.
And you're correct. My math was off in my previous example.
Also, BTW, I agree that the electoral college needs to go away. It is outdated and encourages corruption.

No but it can't be factored just by amount of registered voters. And as I've mentioned a number of times before the person and/or group that provides the call list provides the outcome.
