Is it true that the Electoral College allows a candidate to win without the popular vote?

Yes. A Wikipedia reference states that a candidate can win the electoral vote while another wins the national popular vote, citing 2000 and 2016. A stylized game-theory paper also models election inversions under the Electoral College.
