Full title:

"Electoral College Landslide: Donald Trump Pummels Clinton, Projected To Win 306 Electoral Votes"

Well, the last of the holdouts have been called, as we wave goodbye to 2016 and look to the future under President-elect Donald J. Trump. New Hampshire, Arizona, and Michigan were the last remaining states to call in their vote counts. Clinton won the Granite State (4 votes), while Trump took the lead in Michigan (16 votes) and Arizona (11 votes). Regardless, without these states, Trump was able to clinch 279 votes, which won him the presidency.

According to Google, as of 10:00 a.m. EST, with 100% of the precincts reporting, it's Trump with 2,279,210 votes vs. 2,267,373 votes, making Trump the winner by 11,837 votes. See:

Now we can definitely say he has 306 electoral votes, making it really hard for the terrorists to peel off enough EVs to keep him from winning.

If Trump wants to make one change, clean up the electorate.

This map would be better without those county lines.

One vote demographic I have not heard a word on: the military vote. I remember when Gore tried to suppress the military vote. Anyone know how it turned out this time?

No counties in New Hampshire or Vermont, yet Clinton took the electoral vote. That’s obvious fraud.

The highlighted areas are by county.........how would removing the lines make it better?

A STRONG point to bring forward is the CALIFORNIA effect on the popular vote. CA has implemented the new vote process that makes the State General Election a choice between the two largest vote winners from the Non-Partizan State Primary. Thus, while Donald Trump was on the CA General Election Ballot, the other major race, that for US Senate, only had the choice of 2 Democrats, Kamela Harris and Loretta Sanchez, to replace Senator Boxer.

Intentional or not, this has the natural effect of depressing the Trump popular vote in CA as many there feel no need to vote outside competitive other races like US House or local. Given CA’s status as the most populous US State, the idiot argument concerning the popular vote has even less meaning. The race is for the Electoral College vote, that is the agreed battleground and to make a motion to change it after the election is illegitimate at best.

That fits my contention that Trump needed a landslide to eek out a win over the Left’s voter fraud.

The strongest point is that neither candidate was campaigning to win the popular vote.

How much money and time was dedicated to New Hampshire by both Clinton and Trump? I bet it dwarfs what was invested in California.

If the popular vote mattered, that certainly wouldn't be the case.

Ed Schultz called it a landslide. He was surprisingly good and insightful throughout the night. He was scathing toward Hillary and overall, pretty respectful of Trump. You can see the entire 11+ hours of coverage on Russia Today here =>

Uhm, the county lines are the whole point!

FOUR counties in WA voted H!
ONE county in NM voted H!
THREE counties in Illinois voted H!

Yet H! WON those states decisively.

Instead of electoral votes by state, why not by county? There would NEVER be another democrat in the White House again!

We’re not a bunch of individual counties. We are the united counties of America.
