Former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said Sunday it is time to re-examine the Electoral College, after Democrat Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but lost the electoral vote to President-elect Donald Trump. Other Democrats, including California Sen. Barbara Boxer, have flatly called for the Electoral College to be abolished and have presidents be elected by a simple popular vote. Sanders, meanwhile, hewed close to the line that Clinton's former campaign has walked on a recount effort being led by former Green Party candidate Jill Stein. Sanders said that even though Trump has called it a "scam" anyone has a right to a recount. "The Green Party has the legal right," Sanders said.
