The former Secretary of State received nearly three million more votes than Trump.

Three million more votes than Trump, probably all in Los Angeles County. The U.S. does not elect by popular vote. Thank God for the Electoral College.

Hillary carried California by about 4.4 million votes.

So when doing Simple back-of-the-envelope arithmetic here, Trump carried the other 49 states combined by about 1.4 million votes.

Yes thank God for the electoral vote. That subject has been debated many times here. I’d add my two cents and say that the electoral vote guarantees that a winning candidate will have a broad base of support in many states , and not just have a base of support in the Northeast and Pacific coast states.
