The fact is that we will never actually know for sure who won the popular vote. The 2 million that Clinton is supposedly ahead by is about 1-1/2 percent of the total vote. If this were a popular vote contest, we would have recount after recount and after 6-9 months it would probably be determined by a court who would probably give it to congress to elect the president.

There is no way that counting 134 million votes, the way that we do it, can be done to an accuracy level of 1-1/2 percent.

There are also reports of illegal votes which would all be challenged if this were a popular election.

In addition in states where Trump won in a landslide, they didn't bother to count absentee mail in ballots as they wouldn't have changed the outcome.

These are not the original reasons for having the electoral college, but it makes me happy that we do.

So for all of those of you who want to keep yelling that Hillary won the popular vote, #1 there is no way of knowing that for sure, #2 it doesn't matter. That is not how we elect our president and it never was. Hopefully, it never will be.

The fact that we will have a republican president, a republican majority in both houses of congress and 33 republican governors out of fifty says a lot more about how the people of this country feel about the past eight years than a questionable 2 million votes.
