    You don't understand, the will of the American PEOPLE is the popular vote. The "will" of the EC determines the president. I didn't read the rest, hope you enjoyed your exercise!

    you don't seem to understand that the will of the American people is arguably the will of a majority of the counties. Our founders set up a republic not a democracy to capture the will of the people more accurately. Uninformed group think and media brainwashing was brilliantly and fairly considered.

    Not to mention they still believe in the existence of empty space. Typical drumpher, if it doesn't have a hotel, golf course or tower on it they think it is just empty space.

    that is such a cool map. if only we could get the blue county people education. and the media wonders why we are against more immigration from countries with more socialist or crony political cultures. 7% of the counties almost screwed over the rest of the country with a crook like hillary.

    The will of the American people want to take money from my small state to pay for problems in their large city.

    That's why Hillary will be president, just like Al Gore.

    POSTED ON NOVEMBER 26, 2016 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS
    RECOUNT FREAKOUT
    If you’re a liberal, anything is better than admitting that you lost. So now, just weeks after cautioning Donald Trump’s supporters that they had better accept the results of the election (unlike the Democrats in 2000 and 2004), Democrats led by Jill Stein are demanding recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Left-wingers have donated millions of dollars, and the Hillary Clinton campaign has announced that it will participate in Stein’s recount efforts.

    The presidential election wasn’t particularly close: Trump won, 306-232. Still, if you convert Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to Hillary Clinton victories, she would edge Trump out, 278 to 260. That is obviously the basis on which those states were chosen. However, there is zero chance that a recount will change the result in any of those states, let alone all of them. Trump won Wisconsin by more than 20,000 votes, Michigan by 10,704 votes, and Pennsylvania by more than 70,000 votes. Lots of luck with those recounts.

    Jill Stein claims that she isn’t trying to favor one presidential candidate over the other, but only wants to assure a fair process. That is nonsense. The states she and other liberal activists have chosen to challenge are not those where the race was closest. How about New Hampshire, which Hillary Clinton won by around 2,700 votes? Or Nevada, which she won by a little over 26,000? Even Minnesota was a whole lot closer than Pennsylvania; with its notoriously lax ballot security, Minnesota could be fertile territory for questioning election results.

    Liberals know they aren’t going to overturn the result of the election through recounts, they just want to undermine Trump’s victory by making vague allegations of irregularities, “hacking,” and so on, which will circulate in the fever swamp for the next four years. It is, in other words, just another attempt by liberals to undermine our democracy.

    At least with a Trump victory Obama has a chance at a legacy. Now he doesn't have to watch the Obamacare Death Spiral.
