Final Presidential Election Vote Count 2016 – State by State Breakdown 

The subject of popular votes and electoral college for me was closed yesterday, but I have to respond to comments, and I will not give misinformation a free ride on my blog. I just now received a comment on an old post of mine regarding popular vote numbers- (Final Presidential Election Vote Count 2016.)

Trump has given wings to ignorance. If he makes a claim people accept it as the gospel truth—and he lies about everything. I wonder if the comment was a sincere mistake by someone who was a victim of fake news, or if it is an attempt by someone to perpetuate false information. Either way, willful ignorance (Trump) angers me. 

The comment was: 
“Yes Clinton won the popular vote, but only in California. The popular vote in 49 other states has Trump winning. The District of Columbia gets 3 votes and it does not have any Representatives or Senators. Which brings up another point that seems to be overlooked. Had the election outcome depended on the popular vote would any politician campaign in Michigan, Wisconsin, or any other state with a low population? Not likely, so wouldn’t those citizens be disenfranchised as you suggest and their votes meaningless?” 

To which I responded: Your facts are incorrect. Are you getting your information from Trump?
