“HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE!”

Would not have been true were the election based on the popular vote. Trump would have campaigned in the most populous states instead of in the battleground states. Advertising would have been allocated in proportion to population, rather than weighted by (electors)^(2/3) (derived by Steven Brams in _The Presidential Election Game_)

What would have happened if Trump campaigned in California? Imagine a hundred thousand people at a Trump rally in the Rose Bowl.

True.

Also true the majority is a tiny margin and would not be there apart from fraud, the dead voting, people voting multiple times, and illegals voting.

Sorry the list is repetitious....

Although it is likely that she does have the popular vote, most folks don’t notice that they stopped counting when the election was called. It would be nice to know the final number for a variety of reasons.

Some states do not count absentee ballots once the final outcome is clear.
