You will not see this on the 5:00 P.M. News.
***************************************************************************************************************************************
Electoral College

There are 3,141 counties in the united States
Trump won 3,084 of them
Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx,Brooklyn,Manhattan,Richmond and Queens) Clinton received
well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the
entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous
to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome
of a national election.
