USA Former Presidential Bid Hillary Clinton Leads 2.7 Million In Popular Votes

Michelle – Oh no, that dress!

It amazes me how many people do not understand how the Electoral College works or why it was implemented.

Mr Trump is the fifth president to lose the popular vote in USA history. The Electoral College system requires that representatives of each state cast ballots to decide who will actually become the new President. Brezenoff, however, fails to reconcile how then the votes of many millions of Americans in smaller populated states – such as Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, North and South Dakota, Alaska – could have their voices heard. And 71 of those people changed their votes because the original winning candidate died before Electoral College votes could be cast. The percentage of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters who wish to amend the Constitution “in favor of the popular vote determining the presidential elections” is 81 percent. But in the other 49 states, Trump beat Hillary by 2 million votes.

Even though electors are selected by party leaders, they are free to vote for whomever they want.

According to the California Secretary of State, Californians cast 8,167,349 votes for Clinton and 4,238,545 for Trump: a margin of almost 4 million, favoring Clinton. Meanwhile, others turn out to be beneficial in such times to help understand why we need the Electoral College.

Ms Clinton has 65,250,000 votes compared to the President-elect’s 62,686,000 votes, the newspaper reports. “Instead, I must vote for the person who I believe will be best for my constituents and who has the greatest chance for unifying our country”.

Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election’s popular vote by over two million votes – the largest margin in 140 years for ANY presidential candidate.

So now it’s those legions of diehard Democrats who complain about a rigged election and show an unwillingness to accept the final result. Republicans control 33 governorships, 69/99 state legislatures, and will have over 4,100 state lawmakers in office; the most in office ever since the GOP was founded. The popular vote was decidedly against him. These areas were decidedly Democratic in the election and unquestionably comprise an inordinate majority of vote-eligible citizens in the country.
