Agreed.
California hasn’t gotten as much attention perhaps because Democrats are solidly in control.
But I recall in 2016, the vote count went on for weeks after election day. Hillary won California by approximately 2 million votes as of the day after the election in 2016.
The final margin for Hillary in California was about 4.4 million votes. They kept counting and adding to her total for weeks after.
When the liberals give the talking points that Hillary won the popular vote, the entire margin of her allegedly winning the national popular vote came from California.
it’s going to be interesting in 2020
Are you saying that it is unfair Cali's vote is too big? Cali has always counted its absentee ballots that way - for many many decades. They count it after the polls close and usually start the day after the election.
Trump had the popular vote on election night, but everyone knew he would lose it because a number of states count absentee ballots or vote by mail ballots after the polls close.
I understand what you are saying that if you take away Cali and NY votes then Trump won the popular vote. True, but the last time I checked those two states are two of the 50 states and shouldn't their votes count, too?
That is why we have the electoral college, so big states like Cali and NY don't dictate to the rest of the nation. So it worked on election night.
If Trump wins in 2020, it will be via electoral victory again. I don't see Trump winning a popular vote victory in 2020. His victories in states he wins are fairly narrow (except the south) and he gets trounced big time in states like Mass, NY, Cali, etc. I don't see that changing. Trump lost VA by a huge 250,000 and had fairly narrow victories in NC, GA and FL. He will be the only person elected president not to win a plurality of the votes.
But back to Cali, those election counts go on for weeks and has for decades - they take their time....9 to 5, but so many vote by mail in Cali, I'm not surprised.
