Appears Trump won the popular vote too.

Cite, please?  I have some noses that need tweaking.

A quick search just showed Clinton +~400K. The military absentee vote could certainly reduce that, but I don't know where they are on that count. Don't know that there's enough to reverse it though. I too, would like to see the numbers go the other way, just to make celebs and protesters cry a little more.

Real Clear Politics hasn't even called Mi or NH yet let alone updating the popular vote totals.

Poor little butt hurt liberals.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

The problem with trying to figure out the popular vote is not every vote gets counted. :(

If there is a stack of 1K absentee ballots hanging out in the back room waiting to be counted and they will not effect the outcome of the race there is a very good chance they will just get tossed without being opened so we will never know the true popular vote.

Well that's disappointing. I spent election day processing absentee ballots so they could be counted on election day. :mad:

I suppose other states do it differently.

Not a very credible news source.

I was going to say... He even says that his source is Twitter. How is Twitter a source?  ???

Wow. According to that, Trump won over 90% of counties considered to be rural. That's incredible.

Not at all surprising to those of us that live there.
It's an easy tell to look at the election maps from the last several go arounds and see that the divide in this country is less liberal V. conservative as it is rural V. urban.
Too many city dwellers have no idea how the world works outside of their own narrow little slice of it.

And I'm betting the remainder are mostly border counties.
