It's Official: Clinton's Popular Vote Win Came Entirely From California

[Vigilante]

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.

Well, regardless, people that do not like it are going to have to get over it.

The last time I checked California was part of the United states.

The last time I checked California was part of the United states.

And their votes mean just as much as Idaho or Nebraska. They get their electoral college votes no matter the margine of victory.

Yes but it is an entirely different world full of loonies, and egotist with an occasional group of real sane intellectual conservatives that support the states idiot majority.

Bullshit all the votes in California were counted on election night. The 2.8 million vote lead she has now is from overseas military ballots. She started out on election night with a 500K popular vote lead and it's grown since then because of the all the overseas military ballots that have come in. Sometimes these can take weeks to get back. She is now up around a 3 million popular vote lead.

So the majority of their cheating was done in Cali? Makes sense since they purposely chose not to check iD's like green cards and quickly and illegally legalized a number of imigrants for exchange of their support.
Just shows their demonization, scare tactic, and racism angle worked in drama driven states.

Wrong. She got over 4 million more votes in California, it doesn't matter when the votes were counted, overseas mail in ballots or domestic absentee.

those extra votes most likely belong to people that should just move the F back to their filthy country they came from in the first place.
in other words, they dont count. Hell, they really arent even humans once they sneak across the border.

No, idiot. California wasn't the only states where Hillary margin of victory was larger than Obama's. See Massachusetts.
By the way, you don't even know what "margin of victory" means.

Democrats will crank out votes there for the next several months,...

and hillary received the EC votes from Massachusetts also. Not sure what that has to do with the illegals in California voting.

California has become largely irrelevant in presidential elections. The Dems get spotted 55 EC votes and everybody moves on. It is in the nature of Democrats to own the West Coast and North East corridor and little else.

The battlefields are elsewhere.

really, with the democrats living mostly on the coasts, its really hard to find fear in the thought of the oceans rising.

And...?

Does this somehow make them special?

And they got their electoral vote counted.

 

[ninja007]

libs missed the Stein recount looks like.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Indeed it is. But does that mean a vote in California should mean more than a vote in North Dakota? Democrats should run on that in '18 and '20 as a premise to eliminate the Electoral College. It's sure to be very 'popular'
