Hillary Clinton's Popular Vote Lead Now Over Two Million
NBC News ^ | 11/23/16

Posted on 11/23/2016 1:23:50 PM PST by Impala64ssa

As additional votes have been counted in the presidential election, especially on the West Coast, Hillary Clinton's national popular-vote lead over Donald Trump now exceeds 2 million votes, according to an ongoing tally by the Cook Political Report's David Wasserman.

Hillary Clinton's vote total is 64,223,986 (48.1% of the vote), while Trump's is 62,206,395 (46.6%) - a difference of 2,017,591 votes (1.5%).

To put that popular-vote margin into perspective, Al Gore's popular-vote lead over George W. Bush in 2000 - when Bush won the Electoral College - was 547,000 votes. Also noteworthy: Clinton's 64-plus million votes is nearing in on the 65.9 million Barack Obama won in 2012.

Of course, presidents are elected by the Electoral College, not the popular vote, and what sunk Clinton's campaign was her performance in the key battleground states, particularly in the Midwest. And by Wasserman's count, Trump beat Clinton in 13 key swing states by a 48.5%-to-46.6% margin. In the non-swing states, though, Clinton is ahead of Trump 48.9%-to-45.6%.

California, where Trump barely campaigned and illegal aliens vote by the train load.

This is why we have an electoral college, so California can’t just decide the president for the rest of u s and tell us to shut and like it.

The Demonicrats are now working in three shifts, cranking out those “misplaced ballots.”

I’ve read that 1.5 million of that is in Los Angeles County alone.

Of course, presidents are elected by the Electoral College, not the popular vote, .....


But that won’t stop us from reporting these numbers to undermine Trump’s legitimacy. And, of course, we won’t mention the millions of fraudulent votes cast by illegal immigrants (+ dead people).

That’s odd. Why wouldn’t those votes have been counted on election night?

Where did they find these “extra votes/”

In Podesta’s basement next to the furnace where he chains up his pizzas?

Election UPDATE: Hillary has still lost election. Media continues to rub salt in the wounds of liberals by updating the ‘popular vote’ totals, a meaningless number which has nothing to do with national elections.

Just like Al Franken discovered enough votes to win after losing. It would be interesting to see where all those additional votes are being found. Probably places controlled by democrats.

Her campaign asked Stain (that b.tch) to demand a recount.

She needs 2.5 million bucks by end of Friday to have enough money to move forward.

I’m sure soros will gladly pay.

I have NO desire for a civil war, but I will fight if this is stolen.

I REALLY desire it to be a peaceful transition.

This is worse than Lyndon Johnson.

Votes not counted within a week of Election Day are BS.

They stop counting in precincts where the total number of remaining ballots to be counted can't change the outcome.

So for example in Ohio, they could continue counting in all the areas that are red and add to Trump's popular vote total.
