But one thing is certain: Clinton’s win is unprecedented in the modern history of American presidential politics. And the numbers should focus attention on the democratic dysfunction that has been exposed.

When a candidate who wins the popular vote does not take office, when a loser is instead installed in the White House, that is an issue. And it raises questions that must be addressed.

Doesn't matter. The rules are the rules. Even if it turns out that she won MI (though her margin of loss is growing in that state) Trump still won.

This is only a lesson from Trump who will need to know that, with the election over, and his time to govern beginning in about two months, that he leads a very divided nation, with 53% voting AGAINST him.

Will he seek to validly heal the divide by being inclusive? By listening to a broad range of views. Or will it just be the manic Giuliani, the racist Bannon, and the greedy Trump kids, who catch his ear?

Right now it looks like inclusiveness, and recognition that he really isn't a popular president, doesn't factor into what he is doing.

I know that Trump won according to the rules. No one is disputing that. I', not even sure there is much to root for a change to the popular. The point here is to encourage Democratic voters in the 14 or so States that matter in elections that they have to vote. The rest of the States can go ho-hum. And that's why people raise the issue. Why should 1/6th of the people decide for the other 5/6th?

This is such a joke.  Do you really think if this was a PR country, Trump would just campaign in 11 states and forego places like NY and Cal?  Get over it, Hillary lost and had this was a PR nation, the campaigning would be different and she still would have lost.  Trump flipped Blue states to Red!  Trump out did, out classed and out gunned a well funded Hillary.

Kari is such a bitter LOSER.

He now wants the rules changed since he lost. He was clutching to straws on election night, he was telling Hillary supporters to wait for votes to come in as Blue states turned Red.

Time for the losers to lick their wounds and swallow their pride and save themselves from further embarrassment by stop parroting left wing media analysis.

Let President Trump govern and judge him in four years. 

By then, African American cities will look like the beautiful Toronto.

Folks,

Here is a summary of how votes are counted.

At the end of the night, at the close of Poll, the machines are "open" and the numbers of casted ballots  are derived. 

This is only for the votes done on the voting machine.

There are a significant number of votes yet to be counted.

Here is a partial list

Mailing Ballots

Affidavit Ballots

Special Ballots

Absentee Ballots

At my poll site in Queens at PS 161 Q, we had 4004 votes casted and approximately 1000 "manual votes"

 

In conclusion, this election is only final after each state board verifies and approved the finally tally; typically 2 to 3 weeks after an election
