Actually, it was only a few (by a slim margin) key
'winner take all' states ...that gave Trump the electoral college.
Donald Trump will be president thanks to 80,000 people in three states - The Washington Post
Quote:
The most important states, though, were Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump won those states by 0.2, 0.7 and 0.8 percentage points, respectively — and by 10,704, 46,765 and 22,177 votes. Those three wins gave him 46 electoral votes; if Clinton had done one point better in each state, she'd have won the electoral vote, too.
Or put another way: But for 79,646 votes cast in those three states, she'd be the next president of the United States.

And let's not forget, that Clinton received almost 3 million more actual votes.
