Think about it with common sense, how is it fair that a candidate wins by like 1% in several swing states and then carries all of their electoral votes while losing the national popular vote heavily?
There should be a re-run and if the margin is still less than 2.0%, the state should be seen as evenly split and half of each side should participate as electors for that state. That is the only way to make it fair!
The 6 states that should have a run off are:
Florida
Pennsylvania
Michigan
Wisconsin
Minnesota
New Hampshire
Candidates with more than 5.0% of the votes should be allowed to participate the run off, so only Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be on the ballot since Gary Johnson didn't get at least 5.0% in any of these states.
The re-run should be one month from Election Day so candidates can focus campaigning in just those 6 states for a month!
The loser (Hillary Clinton) should have just campaigned harder in those states during the campaign, Donald Trump (the winner) campaigned harder than Hillary and her entire campaign could have ever dreamed of. He won, he deserved to win, he worked harder for it and he earned the victory.
Most of the Farm Bill goes to paying for welfare and food stamps. The rest subsidizes YOUR food costs, if they didn't do it food prices would go up. I'm sure farmers would be happy to have you pay more for their goods.
Could you please provide some evidence for that claim? It appears to be incorrect.
"...In practice, the program keeps food prices high, costing consumers billions, while funneling most of its aid to giant agribusinesses and wealthy farmers. About 75 percent of total subsidies go to the biggest 10 percent of farming companies, including Riceland Foods Inc., Pilgrims Pride Corp., and Archer Daniels Midland..."
"...Farm subsidies are costly to taxpayers, they distort the economy, and they harm the environment. Subsidies induce farmers to overproduce, which pushes down prices and creates political demands for more subsidies. And subsidies hinder farmers from innovating, cutting costs, diversifying their land use, and taking other actions needed to prosper in the competitive global economy..."

please do us all a favor and grow up. put your big boy pants on and recognize the fact that your candidate lost the election, and there are no childish "do overs" in the mix here. this is real life, and real life isnt fair. clinton lost the election under the rules that have been established since the beginning of the country, and everyone follows those rules.
i was not happy when obama won in 2008 and 2012, but i got over it. you are not happy trump won this year, now it is time for you to get over it. as the marines are fond of saying, "analyze, improvise, adapt, and overcome". learn from that.
It's a sad sad day when the counties trump won are only worth 36% of the American economy!
all these fun little statistics are nice to follow, but they are not reality. they are an attempt to denigrate trump as much as possible in the eyes of the sheeple like you.
Hillary will win in all 6 states if there is re run ^.^
1. There won't be a "re-run", the United States of America has voted and Donald Trump won.
2. Hillary could have won all 6 states if she had just worked as hard as Donald Trump did, she didn't and lost.
