People Don't Seem To Understand that Hillary Won the Popular vote

60,467,000+ people voted for Hillary and 60,071,000+ people voted for Trump. If the elections were based on actual individual ballots cast, then Hillary would be president. So, please stop saying most people voted for Trump, because it is inaccurate. He won the electoral vote, meaning he gained the most number of points through the states in that system, which is what decides the president.

The same thing happened with Bush/Gore. It's interesting how many people don't seem to understand their own country's voting system...

Which is interesting because I honestly thought Trump would win the popular vote, but Hillary would win the electoral, but the exact opposite happened.

Thank goodness I'm not the betting type lol.

She actually beat him in the popular vote by 3/10 of 1%....a most underwhelming majority...

@Alien-Zipper: Don't forget the 3 million illegal votes and the uncounted military votes
