“Have we ever gottten a final vote count? I thought we had and Trump won but I keep hearing dems say that Clinton won.”

I do not recall reading anything that said Trump won the popular vote.

What I do recall reading was that Hillary won the popular votes for votes that were counted. Many votes (absentee ballots and the like) are not counted unless including them might affect the outcome. For example, and using easy numbers, lets say Trump got 1,000 votes in TX, and Hillary got 900. If there were only 10 absentee ballots, they wouldn’t be counted because doing so wouldn’t tip the scales.

The thinking on the Republican side is that Trump won those uncounted ballots by a large enough margin that he’d have won the popular vote if counted.

That is pretty much what I remembered too but I was hoping that the uncounted votes would be counted. So we could shut democrats up and they would quit saying that she really won.
