Enough with this. There is no such thing as "popular vote" in the electoral college. None whatsoever. If there's any consolation, nobody won the popular vote because it didn't exist in our electoral college system!

You can say that more people voted in the electoral college election were for Hillary but it is NOT the popular vote! It means absolutely nothing because many people didn't even vote due to the electoral college system.

Stop lying!!!

If that happened, you LITERALLY, as in 110% for real, as in like you've never seen before, have a civil war in this country and one I'd be voluntarily on the front lines of. I'd give my life in a heartbeat to stop such nonsense, as would about 100,000,000 other Americans. You don't mess with elections in this country. You just don't.

And for decades the democrats have been doing just that. They have been cheating, throwing away votes, encouraging illegals to vote, dead voters and so on. It adds up, but we looked the other way. Try and forfeit the electoral college and you'll see civil unrest you would not believe in this country.

It's not going to end unless you completely ignore the nonsense. This just makes another thread.

wrong...the AP already has California votes 100% Precincts reported.....unless they found more votes from illegals coming from Tijuana.

AP Election Results | PBS NewsHour



in Washington they are at 81% Utah is at 82% ....they are both small states so they won't add much

both candidates ran their campaigns to get electoral votes, not the popular vote. Even if the electoral college got abolished tomorrow that wouldn't suddenly make Hillary the president because that is not how the election of 2016 ran

That's not going to change the results. Plus they are essentially tied at 47%.

Many of the conservative Washington counties haven't been counted, so the Washington logic fails. Also, Utah.

Either way, Trump won fair and square.
