I’ve always contended that such a razer-thin margin is statistically impossible unless someone is manufactuing the “results,” and one side is guilty of this.
Guess which side.
It’s not the number of votes total! It’s the EC for specific states where the state is super-sensitive to certain counties.
The popular vote can be 100 million for Trump and 60 million for Clinton but if she wins 270 electoral votes, she is elected.
Each state has a number of electoral votes. Within each state there are counties that push the state voter totals over the top to win that state’s electoral votes.
