Hillary won, but not by enough to win?

Only in America.
THis is the 3rd time since 2000 this has happened. Trump wouldve fought it. We'd be seeing goosestepping protesters right now with AR15s slung over their shoulders.

It was all the suppression in Ohio - no voting machines, long lines in urban areas, shutting down early voting, rejecting applications not on the right weight of paper - you name it.

Not saying he probably shouldn't have won, but I don't think he got the popular vote.
