Why would America send Hillary Clinton to Australia - we are no longer a penal colony

When you say "we" speak for yourself. Hilary is a fine woman and was very popular. In our election system we have 2 types of votes. One is the electoral vote and the other is the individual vote. If a candidate wins a personal vote, that is, a plurality, he gets to take all the electoral votes designated for that state.Different states have different electoral college votes depending on the population. Trump won the most states for the electoral college, however, his overall cross the nation vote was almost a 3 million votes over Trump. It's a dumb system but that is what we deal with.
