Absentee ballots are counted.

1. Without the electoral college, those few small populated centers would rule over the entire country. I think that was his point.

2. How many of those were illegals?Don't deny it, even Obama is on record implying that illegals could vote and would not be hassled or checked.

The people should elect our officials or at least the electoral votes should not be winner take all in a state. The system is flawed and doesn't accurately represent us
It depends on what your definition of "us", is.

It accurately represents "These Unites States". Article II, Section I ....Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

Electors don't represent you; they represent your state. The president does not represent you; he represents The United States.

Oh contrare... Early voting is not the same as absentee balloting.


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 100000 votes counted and there are 130000 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.)

Hillary Clinton Wins the Popular Vote..... Maybe Not!



Thank God we have the electoral college , or else CA and NY would determine every election. Every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if you look at the maps, the majority of those states don't agree with NYC and LA. Yes , we are lucky to have the electoral college.

Another fact; Less than 50% voted for Hillary. So the MAJORITY rejected Hillary just like the headline says.

Many absentee ballots are cast by voters who are unable to vote at their physical polling place due to being an active duty military member, a family member of someone on active duty or a U.S. citizen residing overseas. All ballots submitted according to State laws are counted in every election.

The media often will report the projected outcome of the election before all of the ballots are counted. In a close election, the media may report that the outcome cannot be announced until after the absentee ballots are counted. However, all ballots, including absentee ballots, are counted in the final totals for every election - and every vote (absentee or in-person) counts the same.
