We can't just discount third party votes. They were cast and counted. Stop disenfranchising people.

You can't count a legitimate vote for another candidate on the ballot as a vote for a different candidate. That's not how this works.

It looks to me that Hillary won by 1.5 million votes upon most recent tallies.

Everybody is a Bretbart fake new wannabe. Not only did Hillary win the popular vote, but almost half of the nation's eligible voters did not even bother to come out to vote. That's how popular the orange brat birther boy is.

Winning the popular vote simply means the canddiate received the most individual votes when compared to other candidates. She received more individual votes than any other candidate, therefore won the popular vote. Winning the popular vote does not mean... whatever the **** you think it means here.

In fact, please explain how what you're saying here works. We're all dying to know.

For what it's worth, I do not think popular vote should decide who the president or any elected official is. Representative systems like the Electoral College are far better.

Of course Hillary won the popular vote. She won because it was exactly what she got from the election: jack and squat!

In case you don't know there is no such thing as popular vote in our electoral college system. None whatsoever.

If you count votes, a popular vote will still exist. What you're saying is it carries no weight. It's still there though.

No, it is not. No such concept exists in the electoral college system.
