This completely disregards that Trump didn't campaign for the popular vote, his entire approach changes if votes and not states were all that mattered. It also doesn't factor in how there would he an audit of every vote, especially in California, to see if everyone who voted was legally allowed to vote, every 'dead person' would also have been audited. Lots different would have happened, Trump would have won easier had the popular vote been all that mattered.

woulda coulda shoulda.
And spare us these FAKE claims of mass voter fraud in California-NEVER HAPPENED.
Yes, Trump was awarded the presidency by the system-congrats.
But it's still intellectually dishonest to say that his selection by the electoral college is representative of any of this:
"the voters have spoken"
"the silent majority"
"the will of the people"
"the people have spoken"
"mandate"
None of the above apply to Donald Trump's electoral vote victory.
As of now, the voice of the people is represented through candidates obtaining 270 electoral votes. The rules of the game are plain to see and each candidate spends their entire campaign striving for 270+ instead of the highest popular vote. Popular vote is like a team losing the World Series yet crying that they scored more runs, hat more hits and knocked more home runs....WHO CARES.
