Here is the results of the 2016 presidential election, state by state. If anyone has bothered to look how Clinton won the popular vote, look at California and New York. She has more than double the votes in those states. Everything else seems balanced.

So what? Are you trying to convince everyone that 2 of the 3 largest states in the country don't count with populations that total nearly 40 million? Maybe we shouldn't count Texas either?
No one is disputing that Donald Trump is the POTUS. However, he DID NOT win the popular vote. Period.
Anyway, this is old news. Very old. Get over it. 2.9 million more Americans voted for Hillary Clinton. A total 70 million did not vote for Donald Trump when you add in the other candidates selected by votes on their ballots.
His EC win was also NOT a landslide, not even close, compared to many other U.S. Presidents. Look at Obama's win in 2008. You cannot change the numbers no matter how much you try to spin them. Trump should just move on and show more concern for the country than he does for his ego.
Have a nice weekend. Think of something new to talk about!
And that Ladies and Gentleman, is why we have the Electoral College.
And liberals want to abolish it. I was a little kid during the 2000 election when George Bush lost the popular vote but won the Electoral votes. I don't remember anyone wanting to abolish it back then.
Glad I don't have to deal with Hillary anymore. I trust Flint Michigan's water supply more than her.

That's not what the OP is saying at all. Stop putting words in other people's mouth. BTW, the electoral college does take into account the higher population states by giving them proportionately more electoral college votes.
The false notion that the electoral college is unfair is not true.

No, we have the electoral college because there were more white men in Massachusetts than there were white men in Virginia.
Southern States wanted slaves to count for population/voting/representation purposes. Thats how you got the 3/5th compromise.

Really? Then why do states like Wyoming (pop 585,000) have 3 and Calif with a pop of 39 million has 55.
