Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Drumpf in the popular count of the US presidential election has increased to two million votes. Republican President-elect Mr Drumpf won the election by winning a majority of the electoral college votes, and he will be inaugurated in January. But with votes still being counted, two weeks on, the Cook Political Report has his tally at 62.2m and hers at 64.2m. It is the fifth time the winner of the popular vote has lost the election.

ReplyDeleteWell, she did lose to the least popular candidate in history.
ReplyDeleteShe lost the election but won the vote. That sinks a few holes in the narrative about her being universally disliked. Clearly she's not a popular person in some quarters, yet it cannot be the case that she is as universally hated as is often made out.
ReplyDeleteAnd she may have actually won if not for a few states, where the discrepancy between paper and electronic votes left security experts "deeply troubled". Some are blaming Russia - but let's face it, they are always blaming Russia.
