despite all the millions of Democrats affected by the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act in 2013 -- through registration purging, new ID requirements, and cutbacks in polling stations and early voting days.
About 2/3 of 1% (about 450K) -- and with 233,000 votes still left to count in CA and an unknown number left in NJ and New York.
Chances are great that she'll end up within one-half of one percent of Obama's total.
Yes, she lost the electoral college. But if I hear one more person say she wasn't popular enough or likable enough, or inspiring enough . . .
We all need to remember that she inspired more than 2,600,000 voters more than DT -- a diverse group of flesh and blood voters who should matter just as much as the voters in the Electoral College's swing states -- and we can't let THEM ever forget that.
HE'S CLAIMING A MANDATE. HE'S LYING. THE VOTERS VOTED FOR HER.
Hillary Clinton 65,462,476 (so far)
Barack Obama 65,915,795 (final)
