Clinton Now Leads Trump By More Than 2 Million Ballots In Popular Vote

While the nation’s attention has already shifted to Donald Trump’s moves as president-elect, his share of the total vote continues to decrease.

Hillary Clinton’s popular vote lead surpassed 2 million ― or about 1.5 percent of the overall vote ― on Wednesday morning, with 64,225,863 ballots now counted in her favor, compared to 62,210,612 for Trump, according to David Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

Log on to DOJ or call, and demand a voter audit it
might just help Clinton be our President.

The Department of Justice is not going to conduct a vote audit based on your phoned-in outrage
By Matt Zapotosky November 22

Actress Debra Messing shared the post suggesting that the Justice Department was “tallying calls of those who support auditing the vote.” The Justice Department doesn’t do that. (Julio Cortez/Associated Press)

For supporters of Hillary Clinton, the post circulating on Facebook and Reddit offers hope. The Justice Department, it claims, is “tallying calls” from people who want an audit of the 2016 election. And given the small margins that Donald Trump won by in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, a shift of about 55,000 votes is all that would be needed to change the outcome.

The problem is, it’s bogus. The Justice Department doesn’t count up calls to determine whether it should launch an investigation. And they will not initiate a national audit — or force particular states to recount their results — based on the volume of outrage they receive from voters. ................

ND, SD, MT, and WY, a huge section of the country, produced 900,000 Trump votes, near two-thirds of their votes.
