There are 58 counties in CA.

Trump won 24 so he's down another 34.

http://www.sacbee.com/site-services/databases/article115280078.html

So in the two states I bothered with he's down a total of 48 already.

I'm not sure why people say stupid shit like "Trump won the popular vote of 3142 counties out of 3143. "

It does no-one any good.

No, but it seems you do.

Here's a thought, if you don't like threads like this... don't read them. Don't participate in them.

Let me start off by saying that I don't particularly like the electoral college. It's a flawed system. But after what I point out, a lot of you won't like the idea of a popular vote either. So here's what happened: Hillary is leading in the popular vote by a little over a million. After a review of the electoral map, it was noticed that Hillary won Las Angeles county by a wider margin than she did the popular vote. Here are pictures from the NYT and CNN confirming that:


So, las angeles county is the ONLY county that put Hillary on top in terms of popular vote. Besides LA, when added up, Trump wins the popular vote total of every other county. I for one would not like a county that is overun by illegal immigrants and voter fraud to be the county deciding our entire election. So in this case, the electoral college saved us from a disaster.

That's right. Trump won the popular vote of 3142 counties out of 3143.




Youre so full of shit. What are you even talking out. My county is over a million people and Clinton got 80% of the vote. Your math sucks as well. The margin in LA is 1.2 million and Clinton's lead is 1.5 million. Or do you just want to throw out the Hillary vote? Why don't we just have an elections where you don't count liberals. That sounds like what you are arguing.

When all is said and done, you could throw out every democratic vote in Los Angeles and Clinton will still have won the popular vote. She is expected to top a 2 million vote lead when counting is finished.

Your argument comes down to "there are too many liberals in the country, so we shouldn't count liberal votes or the liberal candidate would win"

You really are disgusting.

You can't gerrymander an election if everyone's vote counts equally. Gerrymandering requires a system.

First, there are not 3,143 counties.

How many counties are there in the United States?

There are 3,141 counties and county equivalents in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. They are categorized as follows:

3,007 entities named "County"
16 Boroughs in Alaska
11 Census Areas in Alaska (for areas not organized into Boroughs by the State)
64 Parishes in Louisiana
42 Independent Cities (1 in Maryland, 1 in Missouri, 1 in Nevada, and the remainder in Virginia)
1 District - the Federal District or District of Columbia.




2nd, just in NY there are 62 counties of which Trump won 46. So he's down by 14 right there.

Quote:

Democrat Hillary Clinton cruised to a win by popular vote with statewide Democratic enrollment on her side, while Republican Donald Trump won the geographic battle of the state by picking up 46 county-level victories, primarily upstate.

Exclude LA, trump would have won the popular vote of every other county combined. If LA was removed from the count, Trump would have won the popular vote.

No. Clinton won the top 13 most populist counties. source.    Trump would not have won California by any vote, electoral, popular or otherwise

Nah. Too many nice beaches to forever leave them to twits.

Well, luckily,  California doesn't get to elect the governor of Wyoming or the senators from South Dakota or any other state for that matter:shrug:

In states with republican governors, the REPUBLICAN candidate got more votes than the democrat

In states with REPUBLICAN senators, the republican candidate got more votes than the democrat candidates did.

In states with REPUBLICAN representatives, the REPUBLICAN got more votes than the democrat

***No "affirmative action" necessary
