It varies by county. What happens in Habersham is not what happens in Fulton.

If you watched the live results election night, it was painfully obvious.

Early voting and absentee voting should only be for people who are unable to vote on election day. It should be a rare exception, not a common practice. The main reason is because these things are ripe for fraud.

High on Trump’s priority list should be new laws to ensure fraud-free elections from now on.

If they just tossed votes in excess of registered voters in Philly and Broward County Fl, hillarys popular vote count would slip away

I just looked at CA numbers (http://www.migrationpolicy.org/data/unauthorized-immigrant-population/state/CA)

There are 2,812,000 illegal immigrants of “apparent voting age” (those being 16 and older as of 2008 - 2014).

Applying the same math, that would be 292,448 illegal votes for hellary if all of them voted as suggested. This is easily enough to cover the entire country’s pop vote excess for clinton.

An excellent point.

We have an electoral college for a reason.

Democrat tactic: Whenever it works for you, demand that the rules be followed. When the rules are not in your favor, ignore them, complain about them, demand to have the changed, whine that they are unfair, insist that they really mean something different.

I question the accuracy of saying states don’t count absentee ballots unless it could make a difference. That seems too categorical a statement. Also not fair (boo-hoo) since absentees tend to be more Republican: military, retired, and higher earners.

Sorry, I intended to include you on this post: 84

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment though. I erred on the conservative side basing my statistics on obviously low numbers to prove the point that regardless they can easily overwhelm the system either way (pop vote or electoral college) - especially when you consider places like Minneapolis / St. Paul, Detroit, Pittsburgh; States like Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas just to name a few.

What about all of the down ballot races and initiatives?????

I wasn't even thinking about this, but you're right. That's another good reason why I suspect the accuracy of the premise. They call a race before counting, but surely they must have to count all votes before certifying.

How many Trump supporters didn't bother to vote in California?

There is also the factor that in heavy Dem districts, often there is not even a Republican challenger. So what exactly is one voting for?

Probably 10% of her votes were stolen anyway.

Just another reason that all the “pre-voting” and other cr@p needs to come to a decisive end. Election DAY, or you don’t vote.

How about the 5 million illegal aliens that voted.

No way Trump can allow that to happen again

National voter ID card, no Motor Voter

Here’s a link to the official Federal Elections Commission results showing Mitt Romney’s 60,933,504 votes.

http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/fe2012/2012pres.pdf

Trump should easily surpass that final tally.

Besides what the article points out, why shouldn't we argue about those votes COUNTED?

As stated in another American Thinker article by Paul Murphy

(excerpt) "Today's voter lists, for example, are generally thought to include something like 1.8 million dead voters, 6.4 million illegals, 1.8 million ineligible felons, and perhaps 2.7 million people registered to vote in more than one state." (end excerpt)

And we can be sure those illegal votes skewed heavily towards Dems and Hillary. Media will never talk about it, but we should all dispute the Hillary 'won the popular vote' myth.

Election night that was certainly the case. And yes, they are holding out for the “official call” but they didn’t show that restraint on election night at the New York Times for Hawaii or California, both were instantly awarded to Hillary’s tally to put her “even” with Trump at 170 long after Georgia was known (but not awarded).

The election atlas goes from the official tallies and doesn’t do real time updates.

The anti-Free-America perverts and criminals lost. So they should be ridiculed and discounted at every opportunity. That said, their crimes should be pursued and they should get maximum penalties. I laugh at them I will do everything I can to crush them.

I think he inadvertently admits that Republicans can and would win even popular voting ems. In popular votes even the absentee votes would be counted and they typically break 2:1 for Republicans.

This is a good time to propose cleaning up the voter rolls.

Needs to be a priority of the Trump administration....

“Not reported yet, but Trump won Michigan by 13,200 votes.

Trouble makers are asking Electoral College reps to vote for Hillary in protest. We will make it impossible if Trump gets over 300 Electoral College votes, which he appears to have.”

Thanks for the report on Michigan!

Post the link when it gets reported.

Is over 300 considered a landslide electorially?
