The US population is 326,662,304

http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/

Twitlers total vote was 62,985,131 vs 65,853,652 for Hillary

43% is only 19.28% of the total US population. I just don’t see more people jumping on the Twitler train.

And based on those numbers 20.16% of us voted for Hillary.

And let’s not forget only 59.7% turned out to vote.
