I haven't personally verified these numbers, but after looking at the red/blue map of the county by county votes across the nation, I do not doubt a bit of it. Trump won because most of the nation wanted him to him. The Electoral College performed exactly as intended....protected the rural working areas from the urban welfare clubs.
*****************************************************************

Interesting Numbers... Finally, the Electoral College explained so anyone can understand the need for it.


The best explanation of why the Founders had unbelievable wisdom in designing the Electoral College.


It also illustrates that the Democratic Party does not represent the country, just the heavily populated east and west coast mega cities which are out of touch with the vast majority of the country.


There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Trump won 3,084 of them.

Clinton won 57.


There are 62 counties in New York State.

Trump won 46 of them.

Clinton won 16.


Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.


In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens)

Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties, Trump won Richmond)


Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.


The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.


When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those that encompass a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

Asaritis, county break down is informative yet unimport.

Only two figures that count: the number of votes in a state and that state's electors.
 
land does not vote, people vote.
That's cute, but meaningless. What is or should be obvious is that the most populated states should not dictate to all states. That is the purpose of the EC. It worked fine.

Hillary lost because she was a poor candidate who had no credible record, no credible plans for improvement of the economy and nothing more than screaming criticisms of Trump. People all across the nation want what Trump offered...except for the big cities. Even New York State predominately wanted (and got) Trump despite the wishes of the vote-for-a-living welfare bums in NYC.

exactly, meaningless drivel :"When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those that encompass a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election."

Hillary lost because urban voters are generally more highly educated and more progressive, yet they do not get full credit for their votes. Trump won because the vast majority of people who voted for him are poorly educated, unsophisticated thinkers who live in rural areas. That is the reality.
 
Farmers aren't really people, they're mostly corporate farmers... o wait...

Funny it's between "farmers" and city folk, but suburbs and small towns are left entirely out of the equation. Isn't gerrymandering great.
 
land does not vote, people vote.
It should be one person, one vote, and the president elected by majority vote, not by counties.

why? the controversy "federalist vs state" is nothing new and not utterly moot
Hillary got more of the popular vote than 10 previous presidents. Someone who has gotten that kind of majority vote should be president. Fuck the federalist versus state discussion. The issue does not apply to our modern democracy. Get a grip.

Pffft. Nonsense. They get the same credit for their votes as anyone else.

I have a wall of degrees, and I live in one of the wealthiest regions in the country.

I fully realize that tabulations by counties do not determine the state's electoral votes. It is interesting though to show where the votes came from. That is the informative part.

I dare say I've lived through more national elections than have you. I am well aware of how votes count and what makes a national winner sometimes the guy with the fewer actual votes. I am also aware that the Electoral College is one of the greatest gifts of our forefathers. They were quite wise to preclude pure democracy and mob rule from our republic. I would hate to see this nation run forever by the same dimwits that rule (and ruin) our major cities with their liberal crap. All of our big, liberal cities have problems that do not seem to go away. They fester like pus-filled boils thanks to liberalism. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
 
Esmeralda and L. K., with some help from Billy, corrected Asaritis's OP.

I support the EC because region and state cultures differ from region to region and state and state.

The founders believed that regional demography should inform the election of the President.

To defeat Trump with solid centrist populist will require only shifting less than 140,000 votes, certainly a task easily manageable.

Esmerald and L. K., Clinton was no more acceptable that Trump, meaning both were the pits.

One down, one to go.
