Hillary Clinton is still soaring high, popular vote lead tops 2.6 million (and counting)]

At the end of last week, Hillary Clinton’s popular vote lead over president-elect Donald Trump had reached 2.5 million. Today, that number has reached 2,620,649. Clinton has 48.2 percent of the vote and Donald Trump has 46.2 percent. One of those numbers continues to go up while the other continues to go down. I cannot tell you that a recount will change who will be inaugurated on January 20, 2017 but I can tell you this—Donald Trump will be a historically unpopular electoral college winner. ..... ...

Make that "Donald Trump will be the historically most unpopular electoral college choice."

Comments include a claim 300,000 votes left to report in CA. Tomorrow is the CA reporting deadline for counties, so expect a big jump.

Clinton’s margin is about to surpass all the Trump votes in 12 states combined.
Clinton Dec. 5 margin = 2,645,046
12 state Trump votes = 2,651,861
In 12 states and DC combined, Trump has 2,664,584 votes.
Tomorrow Clinton could easily surpass 2,750,000 votes.



Time to update this graph after the CA reporting deadline tomorrow. Add NH.

1. Good to get CA's count tomorrow!

Great her numbers keep increasing.

[Coyotl]

3. I'm hoping for a 2% point spread still. Now 48.17% vs. 46.22%

A 75,000 vote margin increase will do that.

2. Thank you for this, Coyotl!

It's got to count for some damn something!

Sure better that so many people DID LIKE HER Message!

5. See how gerrymandering on a local level fucks us on a national level?

All those stupid GOP Congressmen are going to exercise all the power in the world when they appoint Trump as President… gag me
What a fucking nightmare

6. Gerrymandering in swing states is a very specific strategy of the Repugs to complement

their voter id laws and other voter suppression tactics. It allows them to leverage their minority support to control our national politics. They are lawless and sociopathic. This country will not be functional until the Democrats address these election stealing practices. They should have been doing it starting in 2000 when bushes brother Jeb stole FL from Al Gore and the Supreme Court awarded the office to bush. I fear that if tRump actually gets into office, he is going to make the bush reign of error look like the good old days.

7. So she will be the next president then?

[leftynyc]

11. Is that supposed to be funny?

If so, you failed miserably.

[Hekate]

8. Thanks Coyotl

[killbotfactory]

9. She can join Al Gore in the hall of champions, I guess.

Republicans don't give one flying fuck if Trump didn't win the popular vote. They'll push through as much bullshit as they can, and if democrats ever get back into power, we'll have to spend the next 10-20 years trying to unfuck the planet.

10. In sports news, the Browns held the ball longer than the Bills and have declared a moral victory...

... despite a final score of 34 to 24.

17. World series - lost series 3 to 4 games but outscored opponent 60 to 30 runs.

1960 world series
Yankees won 3 games (16–3, 10–0, and 12–0)
Pirates won 4 games (6–4, 3–2, 5–2, and 10–9)
Yankee runs: 60
Pirate runs: 30

[Begabig]

18. Even better...

[jmg257]

12. Whew - we came SOO close! She won 2 states alone by 5 million! (and won 20 states overall).

"I'm with Her in 2020!"

There is always that.

[NewJeffCT]

16. I would support her if she ran again and won the nomination

but, I think it's time for a new face.

Kirsten Gillibrand? Cory Booker? Julian Castro? Gavin Newsom? All currently in their 40s.

[Begabig]

19. She can't be that much of a glutton for punishment...

I think she's gotten the message.

[jmg257]

20. You would think...but with her popular vote going up & up, who knows??

Wouldn't be too surprised if she wanted to, though can't blame her for just wanting to chill from now on.

[Coyotl]

13. Margin 2,653,958 as updated this AM, Hillary now surpasses 12 states combined of Trump votes.

Coming soon, 2 & 2/3 million and maybe 2 & 3/4 million.

Grow Mandate, Grow!

[Cha]

14. thanks!

[NRQ891]

15. Former President Al Gore will be swearing in President Hillary Clinton on January 20, 2017

[Coyotl]

21. Margin 2,669,743 now surpasses 2 & 2/3 million. CA state results not yet official.

This now also surpasses the combined 12 states and DC total Trump votes, 2,664,584.

Will we reach 2.75 million?
