Party like it’s 2000.
The most recent election recount has Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote by 2.6 million ballots (a number that is increasing every day), and, of course, President-elect Donald Trump LOSING the popular vote.
To be clear, more people in the country wanted (and still want) Clinton to serve as president than Trump (and who can blame them, really).
The recounts are being sought by former presidential candidate Jill Stein of the Green Party. Stein’s fight focuses on:
... Pennsylvania, where her Green Party is seeking an emergency federal court order for a statewide recount, and Michigan, where a federal judge...ordered a hand recount to begin by noon (on Monday).
The recount is underway in Wisconsin.
The 2016 National Popular Vote Tracker at CookPolitical.com notes that as of Dec. 3 Clinton was leading Trump by 2,653,958 votes.
That’s what you call a whopper, or in political talk, 2 percent of the overall vote.
