While the nations attention has already shifted to Donald Trumps moves as president-elect, his share of the total vote continues to decrease.
Hillary Clintons 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.

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 doesnt 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, its bogus. The Justice Department doesnt 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. ................

(15,262 posts)2. 2.5 million here we come. Already Clinton's margin exceeds Trump votes in ten states totalled.
ND, SD, MT, and WY, a huge section of the country, produced 900,000 Trump votes, near two-thirds of their votes.

This is the Trumper response I see on every post that shares this.
