Sorry color me embarrassed should have gone a little further back into the records. The contest used by the article was Gore vs Bush;
George W. Bush popular 50,456,002 electoral 271
AL Gores popular 50,999,987 electoral 266 [2]
This changes the view, but still has the same possible outcome of a handful of people picking the winner, If it treads out. Still that particular contest was pretty much in contention.
These Are National Popular Votes
Which Is Not How We Elect Our Presidents
No One Threw Their Electoral Votes, Either
Although Gore Wanted To Change The Rules After The Election
STATES Elect Presidents
The Electoral Votes Of The State
Goes To Who Carried The STATE In The Election
As I Keep Pointing Out
Hillary's 3.2 Million Votes
Came From ONLY ONE State....California
And She Needed 4.5 Million Votes In California To Get It
It Wouldn't Matter If EVERY Vote In California
Had Been Cast For Hillary
Or If She Had Carried California By Only ONE Vote
California Has 58 Electoral Votes,
Regardless Of How Many,
OR FEW, People Vote
California Still Gets The SAME Amount Of Electoral Votes
Because The Electoral Votes
Are Based On Congressional Representation
And EVERYONE Has Congressional Representation
Whether They Vote Or Are Too Young To Vote
It's
The States That Elect The President
National Popular Vote Interstate CompactIs High-Jacking The Election Away From The Will Of Their Own Constituents
