Yes, US citizens who reside in the US Virgin Islands are eligible to vote in the US presidential election. However, they cannot vote in the general election because the US Virgin Islands is a territory, not a state. Instead, they participate in the US presidential primary elections. The US Virgin Islands sends delegates to both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, where they help nominate the respective party's presidential candidate.
The amendment in question is not responsible for allowing a presidential candidate to lose the popular vote but win the electoral vote. This is a consequence of the design of the Electoral College, outlined in Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. The Electoral College system can result in a discrepancy between the popular vote and the electoral vote, as it is the latter that ultimately determines the outcome of the presidential election.
