We disagree. If there wasn’t one then it wouldn’t be tallied. It’s tallied but it doesn’t count.So now we are about to see the trump butt sniffers attacking Elijah Cummings and Baltimore . They have already begun. The idiots don't understand that Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 using this tactic. All that's about to happen is that the people who did not vote in 2016 are going to come out large and vote Trumps racist ass out of office.
I know the usual suspects are going to talk crazy now. Let's see how you talk after the election next year when what I say happens as Trump continues doing this.
There is no "popular vote "
There is but it just doesn’t count.
There's not
Each state has a popular vote and forwards that to the EC.
One can personally make a spreadsheet and add those up for their own joy or misery, but that's it.
There is no national popular vote.
Who tallies it?
I imagine votes are counted by a machine when they are cast. That's how we know how many people voted. Maybe tally is not the right term so I'll try and correct it by using the term cast votes.
