    Looking at that chart, she would have won in Wisconsin and gotten their ten electoral votes.

    What does it look like for the rest of the states?

      Across the country, it was Trump: 71,825,780 Everyone else: 69,303,000

      It says at the top of the page it was last updated a day ago, but I kind of doubt the numbers will change too dramatically.

        The other person was making the point that you can’t do it by total popular vote, you have to do it by state and then look at their electoral college votes.

          But the electoral college is dumb and pointless. This is the first time a Republican won the popular vote since 2004, or since 1988 if you don’t want to count an incumbent victory. That alone should tell you plenty about the state of the country right now.

            And its also how a president is elected in the United States, or 2016 would have gone a bit differently.

            It’s dumb and pointless, but it’s literally the way a president is elected today. We have had many instances of people being elected president who didn’t win the popular vote. So if you want to try to figure out if third party candidates caused Trump to get elected, you have to look at it state by state.
