Not that I suppose it matters much, but aren't they these later votes coming in now? (Possible cheating?) They're still counting as I understand (one of my sisters made a bet on Trump winning, and she's still not able to cash in the ticket yet).
1. The better metric for insights into a real margin (if that is even coherent in this day and age) is to look at the battleground states. Trump's margin in these seven states was large and not reflected by looking at the total votes (popular or electoral).
2. Yesteryear's elections are not commensurable with today's in terms of either rules for vote counting and certification, nor what count as valid ways of casting votes. I don't know what the situation is as of November 24, but there were states still submitting new vote counts as of November 20. With all of the early voting, absentee/mail-in nonsense, plus changes at the state level in terms of permissible timelines for processing these, some margins just don't mean as much as they might once have. There is too much room for fuckery.

You're just an asshole. And a moron.
Hence your tendency to make these needlessly provocative and insulting posts.
In your 'defense' there are at least 20 others just like you on this website.
