The vast overwhemning majority of Voters did not want either Clinton or Trump!!!!
Based on the numbers from 2008 and 2012 those votes for independents were more than likely democratic votes. I will say that I highly doubt that the Evan McMullin votes in Utah were democratic voters as he was supposed to be a conservative. 30 states voted for Trump. I think the mandate is clear as to who the country wanted.

Keep in mind also that Trump was in no danger of losing any of the states he was supposed to win. Clinton however had 6 states she was supposed to have won handily and didn't get 50% of the vote. In all of those state the third party vote could have swung those states in Trumps favor or pushed Hillary over the 50% mark. Trump had no such states. Some of the states he flipped were close and could have went either way with the third party vote. That's why I believe that a majority of voters didn't want Hillary. If this was about keeping Trump out of the White House he wouldn't have won Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Iowa. Hillary only won 20 states and Trump won 30. Obama won all 26 of his states by 50% or more in 2012. In 2008 Obama won 27 states and all but NC he won by 50%.
Millions of votes will never be counted and you know it.
Absentee ballots are rarely counted in blowout states. The margin of victory is greater than the amount of absentee votes, it is called and the votes never counted.
The overseas Military vote rarely if ever gets counted. Historically, absentee ballots break for Republicans 67% to 33%
FALSE
And it's been pointed out before.
Are absentee ballots counted?
Yes, all votes are counted, whether they're cast in-person or by absentee ballot.
It is a common misconception that absentee ballots are only counted during very tight races. This misconception stems from two things: one, absentee ballots are often counted for days after the election since many are coming from abroad; two, absentee ballots are often a small percentage of all voted ballots. Many elections have a clear winner, so the absentee ballots that are still being counted after election night don't affect the results as predicted right after the polls close. As absentee voting becomes more popular, however, an increasing number of elections are decided by absentee ballots.
More votes than Trump, yes. But the total votes of Trump, Johnson, and Stein combined exceeded her total vote by five million. More people voted against her than for her, which is the point of the NYT article.
I object. As a resident of upstate NY, I want us to exit NYC and join the Red Basket of Deplorables territory. How about northern and mideastern Cal. ? Can your mapmaker add them to The New Republic of Trumpism
Absentee ballots are almost always counted. Turns out we vote for more then just the president.
She's not going to win the actual number of votes cast. She may win the number of votes counted, but not the votes cast.
States don’t count their absentee ballots unless the number of outstanding absentee ballots is larger than the state margin of difference. If there is a margin of 1000 votes counted and there are 1300 absentee ballots outstanding, then the state tabulates those. If the number of outstanding absentee ballots wouldn’t influence the election results, then the absentee ballots aren’t counted.
Who votes by absentee ballot? Students overseas, the military, business people on trips, etc. The historical breakout for absentee ballots is about 67-33% Republican.
In 2000, when Al Gore “won” the popular vote nationally by 500,000 votes and the liberal media screamed bloody murder, there were 2 million absentee ballots in CA alone. A 67-33 breakout of those yields a 1.33-.667 mil Republican vote advantage, so Bush would have gotten a 667,000-vote margin from CA’s uncounted absentee ballots alone! That is just 1 of 50 states and several territories.So much for Gore’s 500,000 popular vote “victory.” (That was the headline on the NY Times and it was the lead story on the NBC Nightly News, the same for Hillary and the lies they continue, right? No? You’re kidding.)
Thank God we have the electoral college , or else CA and NY would determine every election. Every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll draw a boxing analogy for you. In boxing, the scoring for a completed fight (one where there’s no knockout, but instead goes the full distance) is done either on a Rounds basis or a Points basis (agreed upon in advance). Let’s say it’s a 10-round fight, scored on the Rounds basis. The judges decide which boxer wins each round and the fight is scored 7-3 or 6-4 or 8-2.
The other way a fight can be scored is on the Points basis. Under this system, a fighter is given 10 points for winning the round, the loser gets 1-9 points, depending on how close or badly he loses it.
Let’s say Jones has two really big rounds where he knocks Jackson down a few times and really has him in trouble, winning those two rounds by ….
