Memo to this IQ-challenged WaPo writer:

How on earth can the Clinton popular vote margin be more than doubled since a few days ago to 1.7 million? Are Democrats still voting - perhaps 100 times per voter?

And how can you create the illusion that Michigan's 16 EVs are still in doubt?

Clearly, you are deliberately fudging these numbers, just as we might expect from the WaPo.

Now as to your main point, that Clinton "won 64 percent of the economy," your method of calculation is inane. Of course, Clinton won just about all of the bigger cities, and most of the nation's bigger businesses are located in the counties that contain these bigger cities. So you are not stating anything more than the obvious when you divide the economy and wealth geographically in that way.

What you miss, though, is that many of the Clinton voters in those bigger cities and the counties in which they are located - counties which Clinton carried - don't contribute anything to the wealth of those businesses that are located there. And conversely, many of the Trump-carried counties are home to voters who make sizable contributions to businesses located in the bigger Clinton-carried cities and their counties.

What you get by this method is a rather distorted picture of the respective percentages of the wealth carried by each candidate. In fact, this is the first time in my life that I've ever seen any election analysis using this grossly defective concept.

Vote totals are updated as states count provisional, contested, mail-in, and absentee ballots, and correct math or reporting errors, etc. California, of course, counts its votes with Mexican efficiency.

Since the totals are state by state, a tracking site would have to spend a lot of time and energy to chart progress. Such as Cook at:

Election night 2012 saw Romney with 57 million votes, but he ended up with 61 million, so that can be a bit of a guide.

Hitlery got how many votes via voter fraud? 3 to 4+ million dead voters, illegals, RATs who voted mutiple times, and then there’s the rigged Soros voting machines!

Hollyood Celebrities React To Donald Trump Winning Election!.....contemplate moving to Canada

Do the lefty celebs realize they'll have to watch Canadian reruns of (gasp) "Father Knows Best?"

The lefty Maliboobs are paranoid...they fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, pay taxes, and live according to the Constitution.

It's gotten so bad, lefties may even have to drink (horrors) domestic beer, and munch heavily salted Lay's potato chips deep-fried in reused "cottonseed oil"....plagued by visions of slave plantations haunting their leftist heads.

California with it's lax standards had a crapload of people vote with absentee ballots and they are counting them slower than molasses. That's the official story.

I don't recall this ever happening before in a POTUS election. But I did notice that after 2014 when I looked at the Cali election results for Congress like in December that dem margins had grown.

I don't trust that state, at all. Presuming these votes are real, how many are illegal aliens? And why is the counting so glacial? Do they have teamsters doing it.

They've pushed Clinton up to +2 million and they aren't done yet, for all I know they might still be counting come inauguration day.

But they can shove it, Trump get's 100% of the Presidency.
