Democrats who are having trouble getting out of the first stage of grief denial aren't being helped by the fact that, now that all the votes are counted, Hillary Clinton's lead in the popular vote has topped 2.8 million, giving her a 48% share of the vote compared with Trumps 46%.
To those unschooled in how the United States selects presidents, this seems totally unfair. But look more closely at the numbers and you see that Clinton's advantage all but disappears.
As we noted in this space earlier, while Clinton's overall margin looks large and impressive, it is due to Clinton's huge margin of victory in one state California where she got a whopping 4.3 million more votes than Trump.
California is the only state, in fact, where Clinton's margin of victory was bigger than President Obama's in 2012 61.5% vs. Obama's 60%.
But California is the exception that proves the true genius of the Electoral College which was designed to prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections.

California: Home of the CA Representative--"You don't need no papers"
That s what needs to be done. LA county alone probably has over a million or more voting. Its time to drain that swamp. Without illegal voting there the dems are dead in the water .
And if an illegal alien is going to cast an illegal vote, why stop at one? Here is where the recount needs to be done.
“No, illegals cannot vote. But they do no ask for ID.”
With “motor voter” policies in place, anyone who can get a driver’s license can be registered to vote. Barry even encouraged illegals to vote. Maybe technically illegals can’t vote, but without provisions for ID, how do you prevent it?
Good article. Good thread. Lots of good insights.
I sympathize entirely, and you are right. But lately it is not just Mexicans pouring in, they are coming from all over South American. Sigh. I’m way too old now to move to another state, have family here, my medical plan, my house, etc. but have little hope California can continue with a higher percentage of the population on gov’t benefits, than those who actually work. Fingers crossed that illegals are cut off from benefits and face deportation once Trump is in office.
Cali gives them drivers licenses and has motor voter. When they receive their license they can register to vote ... without any proof of citizenship, merely a verbal declartion that they are eligible. This was passed in 2015.
In 2012 there were 10,850,000 votes cast in California

In 2016 there were 14,235,000 votes cast.

Nothing fishy here, is there?
A few years ago, I had business at the TDMV (TN). The line
(all Mexicans) was all the way out the door and down the
sidewalk waiting to get their drivers licenses. - An
illegal KILLED my cousin and her husband while illegal was
driving drunk. My kin had small children. I HAVE HAD IT WITH
HILLARY’S crew trying to steal this election. Of course,
HILLARY has bodyguards and lives behind high walls. So,
she and her crew WANT as many of those dead and alien
voters as possible.
As we know, more than likely those were illegal voters, ex-cons, etc. who were encouraged by none other than ODUMBO himself. Throw the entire Kalifornia out and start AFTER those attempting to vote a vetted .
My grandfather worked for the real mayer daley. I fled the city in ‘75, to a suburb. It’s creeping into the suburbs - what, at one time, was considered the most republican county in the nation, went for Hillary...
I probably should set up a gofunde me page.....
Same in Chicago. In Chi and Cali illegals vote legally though supposedly they are only authorized to vote on that part of the ballot that deals with state and local issues. O’Keefe, I think it was, has a video of voting registrars telling illegals that are registering to go ahead and vote the whole ballot because “no one will know.”
California was the source of many of the illegal votes. The whole country was afflicted with massive vote fraud in most if not all of the big Democrat run cities. In South Florida they were downright careless about it and got caught after shredding 180k Republican absentee ballots. I think they still registered more votes than they had voters.
