It's not even just Hillary. Republicans consistently lose the popular vote but win presidential elections. It's ridiculous.
According to wikipedias page on presidential wins it looks like it's pretty even between dems and reps when it comes to popular vote vs win.

it's also interesting to note that clinton had 49% of the popular vote, yet had 70% of the electoral college.

I dont think electoral college rework is a partizen issue. I don't think our election system works very well. CGP Grey had a good video about the problems with first past the post voting.

whole thing needs a rework imo.
