Clinton currently has 61,964,263 votes compared with Trump's 60,961,967
As Americans’ votes continue to be counted, Hillary Clinton‘s lead over Donald Trump in the popular vote has grown to more than 1 million people.
According to the non-partisan Cook Political Report, Clinton currently has 61,964,263 votes compared with Trump’s 60,961,967.
The president-elect said on Twitter Tuesday that he would have run a different campaign if the election was decided by popular vote and not the electoral college, and would have “won even bigger and more easily.”

It was from this summer during Hurricane Matthew. When you see the video that Madcow is saying that line at the bottom of the screen is a Hurricane Matthew graphic. I’m sure that she was saying some disparaging remark or other about Trump right beforehand. Luckily, the polls were cooked just as much as the hurricane. Remember Sheppard Smith clutching his pearls and telling everyone in Florida that they and their children were all going to die?
California has FOUR million absentee or mail-in ballots they have to count. Each state has their own rules on these ballots. I think California didn’t start counting their mail-in/absentee ballots until a few days ago.
It will probably break more or less like the election day vote, I assume anyway. I have no stats on whether mail-in votes/absentee ballots favor one party. I would think DT would do a little better in these kind of votes in Cali due to the military vote. Isn’t the MIL vote mail-in/absentee?
If the states hadn’t foolishly strayed from the electoral college voting process enumerated in the 12th Amendment, federal elections for POTUS would entail only 538 electoral votes to count, not ordinary voter ballot counts that are greater than one hundred million.
In fact, most living voters, legal or illegal, probably do not understand that one of the few things that their state’s electoral votes actually wins for them is a voice in how the US Mail Service (1.8.7) is managed where domestic policy is concerned.
In other words, most official domestic actions of the corrupt Washington cartel are based on stolen state powers, and uniquely associated state revenues that the cartel has stolen from the states in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
But now, patriots will have the opportunity to work with President Trump to politically “force” the corrupt cartel to surrender state powers that it has stolen from the states back to the states, and put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Once this is done, the states will hopefully find more new revenues than they know what to do with, citizens dealing with their state lawmakers as the Founding States had intended, not the feds, to run state social spending programs, depending on what the legal majority living voters of a given state want.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons, our property, our reputation and religious freedom [emphasis added]." --Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
I wish somebody would explain that to Barbara Boxer - a U.S. House Representative from California who has BEEN in D.C. since 1982 - she is fast at work right now fashioning a bill to abolish the Electoral College!
I believe that some states do not continue counting absentee ballots if they could not possibly change the result.
The idea of a ‘final’ popular vote would therefore be moot.
This is just a way for all the left wing loons to make themselves feel like they’re extremist pov is actually popular. When in reality it’s popular in a handful of big cities around the country. Next time anyone says anything about the popular vote, I say Cali and NYC does not the electorate make. 30 out of 50 states gave DT the popular vote.
Just watching all these pukes makes me sick. At least before it was just TV and print, and Hollywood. Now it’s all over social media these left wing pukes run this too. It’s like you can’t get information anywhere unless you are forced to read, see or hear their bullshit and propaganda.

The “popular vote” count doesn’t mean jack sh*t. I don’t know why the commie ‘RATS in the far left wing are so obsessed with this. The kiddies need to get a life. The election is over. The commie ‘RATS lost.
True the Vote says there may have been as many as 3 million illegal votes cast. Not likely they were for Trump.
In the last Super Bowl, Carolina outgained Denver 315-194.
Too bad the Presidential race was an electorate race. If they want to run a popular vote race they need to run for a lesser office.
And the Cubs and Indians both scored 27 runs in the World Series, they should have kept playing.
Good analogy.
Also, here’s video of Obama ENCOURAGING illegal aliens to commit a felony by voting in our recent presidential election:

The President of our country encouraging foreign nationals to interfere in our election.
Pathetic!
take out the illegals who voted then give me the numbers
The more they spit and sputter the more I enjoy watching them squirm.
Hillary Lost!
Get over it!
What I understand is when you take all 49 states other then California and Trump won the popular vote. Only when you add the California votes in does Hillary gain the lead. The votes in California were held back before they counted them, but they called the state for Hillary first thing after the polls closed. I wonder what it would cost to do a recount of California. I’m sure Hillary would win, it might show the numbers in the popular vote are closer then they are saying thus swinging the popular vote back to Trump.
most of these late vote counts are from absentee ballots . Doesn’t this prove that most frauds are done via absentee ballots. These votes aren’t breaking at 47-47, they’re breaking for Hillary by a huge margin
.
When the illegal alien and felon votes are subtracted, Hillary is several million short of Trump’s total; possibly as much as 30 million short.

In Florida, fortunately the rest of the state offset South Florida transplanted liberal vote. Each elector in the Electoral Congress represents the vote in each Congressional District, along with two Electors for the Senators from each state. Each state determines how the electors are selected.
The states, if they choose, can even have their state legislatures pick the electors without an election. 48 states have winner take all. Two states allocate their Electoral Vote by Congressional District. Since this was the wish of the Founding Fathers, we need to get rid of the winner take all system, and have the Electors vote how their Congressional District votes in Presidential Elections.
http://www.270towin.com/alternative-electoral-college-allocation-methods/ is a site that allows you to look at the 2012 Presidential Election under these circumstances. Obama would have lost. The problem is winner take all fueled by voter fraud in large urban areas where people don't know each other.
Our Founding Fathers knew that large cities should not be allowed to sway elections toward one candidate, but that all voters in a Congressional District should have their vote counted.

The illegals vote when the state sends them a voter registration form in the mail with their drivers license.
This has been happening all over the country, and it is huge in California, Arizona and Nevada.
