Thanks, roadcat, for that info!

I think I read someplace that there was an error of some sort. And absentee ballots are still being tallied.

What I’m also waiting for is Michigan official tally; last time I checked, president-elect Trump was ahead by about 11,000 votes.

From following the links, I got to a Twitter feed talking about the reversed popular vote; one of the comments there has a link to the NYT Michigan results

Let’s see your reference on that. Nowhere have I seen Trump winning the popular vote

Shut the country down if this happens.

It’s called a General Strike. Nothing happens! Nothing gets done!

Old European political tactic.

Hillary lost even with 5 million fake votes from illegals and dead people.

Democrats committed massive voter fraud . It’s democrats who almost stole the election

Source please? All the vote tracker websites still have Cankles up 600,000 in the popular vote. They also haven’t called Michigan either even though local Detroit news has already called the state for Trump!!

Alas, the Royal Idiot’s dearth of political skills and his obsessive quest to install a permanent Democrat Majority led him astray.

Boobamba stupidly sucked-up to the Castros...... which queered the Cuban vote in Fla of all places.....a state Hillary desperately needed to win.


Another one of his genius plays.

The community organizer genius sued banks b/c they refused mortgages to ne’er-do-wells who couldn’t possible pay them off.

Then as president, he sued banks for burdening ne’er-do- wells with mtges they couldn’t possible pay off.

I responded to a couple others, before retiring for the night. Didn’t realize it spread, sorry. Here’s my reply.

I pulled it from another FR thread titled “Trump wins popular vote”:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3493442/posts

It has been pulled. Reason - jumping the gun.

Although the original FR thread was pulled, I found the reference to those figures.

https://70news.wordpress.com/2016/11/12/final-election-2016-numbers-trump-won-both-popular-62-9-m-62-7-m-and-electoral-college-vote-306-232-hey-change-org-scrap-your-loony-petition-now/

The mod was correct in pulling the thread, since this source computed numbers based on Twitter and other non-official sources. As one poster commented at that wordpress posting, four million CA absentee ballots and several hundred thousand WA absentee ballots have yet to be counted. Anyone’s guess as to whether Hillary or Donald’s popular vote counts will be greater. There are a lot of military votes yet to be counted; hopefully they are Trump votes. Doesn’t matter as far as Trump’s official status as President-elect, as he has more than enough electoral votes and definitely is the President-elect.

I believe when web sites today accurately state the vote count from 2012, that number comes from the FEC, which didn’t publish it until at least a few months after the 2012 election.

In 2012, Romney and Obama each eventually added about 4-5 million votes to the totals announced within a few days of the election.
