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.
Kerry won Ohio and the popular vote in 2004, according to the 2004 exit polls. So the Democrats have actually won the popular vote in 7 out of the last 7 Presidential elections.
The simple fact is that a Republican hasn't legitimately won a presidential election since Bush in 1988. There was widespread voter suppression during the 2016 election in states like N. Carolina, Arizona, and Wisconsin and this election was stolen from Clinton.
Democracy is on life support in this country and has been for the past several elections. The Repug Party is fascist, the Repug Party is evil, and the Repug Party does not believe in democracy.
