2016 Presidential Election Live Results

Democrats have now won the popular vote in six of the last seven presidential elections.

Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. But it’s nearly certain that Hillary Clinton got more votes.

That will mean that for the second time in 16 years, Democrats will have lost the White House despite winning the popular vote.

With votes still trickling in, Clinton held about a 200,000-vote edge in the popular contest, even as Trump appeared headed for a stronger Electoral College win than George W. Bush secured in his first election ― when he lost the popular vote by 500,000 ballots.

How could that happen? The short answer is key Democratic voters didn’t bother to go vote, while white Republican voters in rural areas of swing states did.


Democrats Likely To Win Popular Vote And Lose Presidency For Second Time In Less Than 20 Years

In other word - most American voters wanted Hillary for president.

If you subtract California vote you will see she was losing the popular vote but because of California she won the Popular vote by the slightest margins...

One state gave her the votes to win the popular vote and now you know why the founding fathers gave us the electoral college!
 
Hey Chief SittingDown, it may not be over? After all SHE "won" the popular vote.....

The one scenario that could still get Hillary into the White House | New York Post


For die-hard Democrats holding out hope that they won’t have to live through a Trump presidency, there is a last, incredibly long shot for them latch on to — a surprise twist in the Electoral College.

Though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 200,000, Trump has won the minimum of 270 electoral votes necessary to be elected president. As of late Wednesday, he had 290 to Clinton’s 228.

According to the Constitution, chosen electors of the Electoral College are the real people who will vote for president, when they meet on Dec. 19 in their respective state capitals.

However, there is technically nothing stopping any of the electors from voting their conscience and refusing to support the candidate to whom they were bound, or from abstaining from voting altogether.

There’s even a name for it: becoming a “faithless elector.”

It depends on state law. Some, not all, states have laws on the books requiring their electors to follow the popular vote.
As the way it should be...

It would take a very brave or very foolhardy elector to buck the will of the people in his state.

It should Be up to the state on the laws they have on the EC, certainly not up to the federal government.
 
I read somewhere, (Bazooka Joe comic strip?), that for a million popular votes, she can trade them in for 2 EV

When you take talking points away from democrat partisans, they tend to go serious irrational.

Hillary Clinton didn’t just win the popular vote. She won it by a substantial margin.

By the time all the ballots are counted, she seems likely to be ahead by more than 2 million votes and more than 1.5 percentage points, according to my Times colleague Nate Cohn. She will have won by a wider percentage margin than not only Al Gore in 2000 but also Richard Nixon in 1968 and John F. Kennedy in 1960.

Hey, it's not about the number of hits...it's about the final score. Hillary won popular vote because California is a freak state.

The reason the Founding Fathers established the electoral college was to make sure the nation was not dominated by radical nuts from factions (Federalist No.10) in states like California and New York.
