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.
And we give a **** why? Thank god our forefathers had the brains to not allow two states full of teet sucking entitlement folks to be able to elect the president every 4 years huh?
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.
Many states have laws against faithless electors, something the founding fathers allowed for intentionally. Are you upset about that? I mean, it's highly unlikely that the electoral college will be removed anytime soon, but there are already laws in various states that are in opposition to it. Not to mention how many electors are really just party insiders who do not have the best interests of the American republic at heart. Does that bother you as much as the liberals view that we should have a popular vote? Or do liberals need to voice that opinion before it bothers you?
Trump won alright, with the help of Putin and his goons!!!
The only "help" Russia might have given is to reveal the TRUTH about the DNC. Once that light was shining the liberal cockroaches scurried back to the shadows to whine about how the truth was exposed instead of handling the truth itself.
If Hillary and the rest of the DNC wasn't corrupt and totally incompetent they would have been able to beat someone like Trump easily.

There is another thread on this where the OP argued the same, but that isnt true. You are simply looking at the amount of people voting and not percentage.
Trump won Alabama by the same margin she won California.
Actually, unless I'm mistaken, Calif has 53 Congressmen. You're right if you are including its 2 Senators. Wyoming has 1 rep in the House and has 2 Senators. Every state has 2 Senators.
But, okay, let's use your number 55. If 55 represent approx 38.89 million that's approx 707,000 each. If 3 people represent 585,000 that's less than 200,000 each.
Anyway, the entire thread is ridiculous. Saying that 2 states shouldn't be counted or have any impact on an election is ludicrous. I heard this 2 months ago after Rush Limbaugh and others brought it up to invalidate Hillary Clinton's popular vote totals.
