You can play five sets, with B winning the game 3 sets to 2, but when you add the numbers up, you find that A has more points.
A B
--------
25 10
25 10
23 25

119 95
Where counting sets corresponds to electoral college votes, while adding the points corresponds to popular vote count.
Not that it's an argument against picking the president through a popular vote, bit it is one way to visualize how that works.
