Am I looking at old data here? I'd been hearing Trump 306 pretty regularly, but not seeing that around the web. Seems everybody that I look at have him at 290. Also, the popular vote. Today, I've started to see posts on Facebook claiming DJT also won with popular vote. Now, yeah, could be erroneous, but I just wanted to ask if 1.) there is anything to this popular vote win claim? 2.) Where is a reliable place to find the 2016 Presidential Election Final results?

Take New Hampster for example. sHrillary currently leads by 2,528 votes. If there are more than that number of ballots remaining to be processed, it is possible that the vote count could ultimately go to DJT instead. We’re talking about uncounted absentee ballots and provisional ballots that have not yet timed out. in other words, her lead is not insurmountable, however probable or improbable that may be. See also Michigan.
Note: I added the sarcasm tag, but honestly, it would not surprise me to see this happen. We have a very corrupt voting system in this country.
My personal opinion is that uncounted military ballots will ensure those states go to DJT.
As I understand it, absentee ballots in most states are NOT COUNTED if it wouldn’t make a difference in the outcome.
Also, most absentee ballots are Republican — 2/3rds to 3/4ths (many are military voters). The millions uncounted would likely have given the popular vote to Trump.
Agreed, MI SOS has called it, and yes, MSM is stoopid as you said.
Most places aren’t bothering to update anymore. The election is old news, they have moved on. Wiki is updated though.
Yes. The election is decided, the only question is how severely Clinton was crushed.
is that a legitimate source?
we won’t know the popular vote for a weeks, apparently. BUT will it get reported IF Trump does eventually get more of the popular vote. Will they update the numbers? Prolly not.
They want to count them until they win.
Michigan. They are still looking at how to generate more votes for H->!
Not likely this time.
Thought I read that, but I wish they would UPDATE the SoS page to show “official.”
Thanks!
Can you post the link?
Not all car trunks have been opened. Many gravestones remain uncounted also. Helpers from Minnesota are on the way.
There is a “popular vote” BUT there is no “popular vote count”. Many votes are not counted at all. It varies by state but since the goal is to decide on electoral college electors the count only has to be close. So, as an example, if Trump,wins Ohio by 300,000 of the counted votes the 150,000 uncounted mail ballots are unneeded and may not be counted. This varies state by state so please dont hold me to the details.
The left loves to perpetuate the myth of a “popular vote” winner. As with any leftist meme you need to define the terms and never assume that their use and understanding agrees with yours, the dictionary, common sense...
Fred Woodhams, the spokesman for the Michigan Secretary of State’s office, told Heavy, “We have no reason to believe that there are significant numbers of votes that are unaccounted for. All cities and townships in the state (1,500 of them) have reported unofficial vote totals.” He said that no recount has been requested because recounts are filed after certified results are available, not unofficial tallies.
“The canvassing process takes weeks to complete to ensure that voters can have full confidence in the accuracy and integrity of Michigan elections,” Woodhams said. “The canvassing boards are made up of equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats.”
“So long as recounts are possible, AP will not call either race,” said AP spokesman Lauren Easton.

So I wonder who put the AP in charge of Holy Writ re the final vote counts?
I don’t think so
100% of precincts counted in Michigan

Arizona called but media refuse to add EV to Trump

There haven't been any adjustments to the Michigan vote tallies since Nov. 10.
What has changed? Why arent the Dims suing in all the close states? How is it Philly, despite being last in, is recounting? Same for Detroit. Maybe they dont win but they can try to de-legitimize Trump’s mandate.
My theory. Quid pro quo. Since a contested outcome is uncertain on Hillary’s part she agrees not to contest if Trump agrees no investigation. It sucks but I think it is worth it.
