Technically yes. The president gets elected based on the Electoral vote, not the popular vote. So even if a candidate wins the popular vote, they can still lose the Electoral vote. but that almost never happens. the electoral college was put in place by the founding fathers because they didnt want the average person(uneducated hill folk) deciding who the president would be.
