the fact that Hillary got more than 2.5 million more votes than Trump...versus in past times, you could say the popular vote was a statistical tie.

I like the electoral collage and prefer that to the popular vote.....although I wish states would be more like Maine and Nebraska in how they do their voting.

I am just pointing out that in every other election, it was either very close or both went one side or the other...this is the first case where the disagreement of the two were very noticeable

Please explain why this message is being reported.
