The popular vote difference between candidates sometimes comes within 0-2 million votes. LA County has 10 million people, and there are over 40 other counties that have more than 1 million people. If elections are decided by popular vote, then just LA County alone, or a combination of the others, could artificially add or flip enough votes to overcome that 0-2 million vote difference.
