The other issue is that neither Hillary nor Donald got even close to 50% of the vote. In some elections, it wouldn’t be considered fair until they had a run-off between just those two. 4.2 million third party votes were for Johnson and it’s reasonable to assume most of those would split to the Republican in a run-off. There were also 700,000 votes for McMullin and Constitution party. Stein only had 1.3 million. So almost 5-to-1 third party votes were on the more conservative side.

So far 130,909,030 total votes have been cast, which is more than 2012 and approaching 2008 when 131,473,705 were cast. Currently, 2016 is the second largest election total in history. It will probably finish first when all the counting is finished.
