The popular vote doesn't mean a damned thing in presidential elections and it never has. ever. and you aren't ever going to change that because there will never be enough states in between California, New York, and Florida that are going to vote for that plan.
So, by all means continue your pointless little tantrum but just know that, although it is highly entertaining, it is pointless.
Trump would have won the popular vote if 3 million illegals hadn’t voted.
Based on comments this week....roughly 3 million dead people are still listed as active voters on the 50-state rolls. Some calculate that as many as six-million illegals also voted in this election. At the very least, probably four million folks (minimum) were non-valid voters for Hillary.
It’s actually bullshit once you factor in democrat votor fraud and the illegal alien vote.
we have concrete examples of out right fraud..
I’m not even going to acknowledge the popular vote until every single vote cast is scrutinized, validated and proven to be legally cast.
This is such a non-issue. If people want to change the rules, go ahead.
The Democrats have 13 state legislatures. Good luck.
Clinton would have won this election if she had gotten to 50% of the popular vote (looks like she’ll end up around 48-48.25%). The fact that 5.5% of the voters opted for a 3rd party candidate says a lot about this election. Some of the most mediocre 3rd party candidates (as a whole) I have ever witnessed, and they have received over 7.1 million votes (and counting).
3 million confirmed votes by illegals.
No... he did NOT lose popular vote.
He conquered MASSIVE voter fraud...
Which you cannot do without a total blowout landslide popular vote.
Clinton was crushed.
“Trump would have won the popular vote if 3 million illegals hadn’t voted.”

That and the fact that more people voted against Hillary than voted for her:
Trump and other candidates:
67328661
Clinton:
61422098
Hilary’s popular vote total was full of empty calories. She ran up the score in places like ca, ny, and il, which were more less not contested by trump.
do away with the electoral college, and presidential elections will never leave large cities and heavily populated states; that’s why it’s there, to force presidential candidates to appeal to the broadest possible swath of the voters’ interests.
that’s why she lost.
Is the popular vote officially tabulated and reported ? Headlines here and elsewhere, some with clinton winning and a few saying trump won. I know it doesn’t matter anyhow but why are there so many conflicting stories on the issue ?
Yeah, it would have been a different race.
He would been in Cali and in Texas and in NY and I think, won it.
And in fact he did win even now minus illegals/dead people/felons.
I would rather officially have it but I like how made it makes them, Their whining never hurt Bush in 2002 or 2004.
Exactly. It’ll be weeks before we know the total and if she moves ahead even more so what. The writer of this article pretty much sums it up; it’s all about California. I knew that to election night, because Trump was ahead in the popular vote all the way up until about 3 or 4 in the morning when California’s precincts wrre all counted then he went behind. He never campaigned there why should he, it wasn’t going to win the election, it would be a waste of money.
yeah I thought the numbers were 62.9 to 62.2 with Trump winning? What gives?
The electoral college is a very significant protection of the essential concept of the republic as a conferedation of states. That element is being swept aside by modern communications and culture with the troubling consequence that the urban culture is more and more becoming the normal rather than the exception.
American exceptionalism was created by the feats of many citizens from flyover country; that made the cities great, but the cities now figure that they should run the entire show. The cities are wide open to the manipulations of globalists, forces who are not entirely loyal to the republic and in some cases not even located within the confines of the nation.
The electoral college should remain the method for electing the president. Toss it out and you will have nothing but a steady decline as presidents like Obama become the norm, community organizers and grievance mongers in touch with urban angst rather than the spirit of building and innovation that persists beyond the inner cities.
They’re still counting votes. California won’t start on their mail-in ballots until tomorrow (today was the deadline to receive them - must be postmarked by Election Day).
3 million illegal aliens voted for Hillary. Trump won the citizen vote.
