All it takes is 50.01% of the voting population that believes this is the right course to put her into office.

It didn't take her husband that much even.

Actually only 270 electoral votes. Majority not always needed.

With our electoral winner-take-all system it can take much less than 50%. All she has to do is barely win the states she won and completely lose the states she lost. The biggest 11 states for 271 electors, winning 50.1% in each, only represents 28% of the population.
