The media has one last thing to latch on to this election. Hillary Clinton is leading the “popular vote” by a few thousand votes. That’s called the “popular vote.” But what about all votes cast? Not all are counted/ States don’t count their absentee ballots unless the number of outstanding absentee ballots is larger than the state margin of difference. According to American Thinker: If there is a margin of 1,000 votes counted and there are 1,300 absentee ballots outstanding, then the state tabulates those. If the number of outstanding absentee ballots wouldn’t influence the election results, then the absentee ballots aren’t counted.

Absentee ballots typically break 67% Republican to 33% Democrat. In states with big margins for Trump, including Ohio, absentee ballots likely weren’t counted because of the landslide it was in Trump won states. In the close states like Wisconsin or Michigan, it all depends on how many absentee votes were counted. Michigan, which still hasn’t been officially called for Trump yet is likely counting absentee ballots because the race was so close.
In a big state like Texas for example, Trump crushed Hillary Clinton by around 10%. Absentee ballots probably weren’t counted because the margin was so great.
So let the media hacks cry about Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote. She didn’t win the total votes counted. She just did so poorly, that some Trump votes didn’t need to be counted because they are absentee ballots. Stick that in your ass CNN.
