This is neither a plug for Donald Trump nor a slam against Hillary Clinton. It is a simple statement of facts. Draw your own conclusions.


ELECTORAL EXPLANATION

There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them; Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46 of them; Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approximately 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass New York City (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond, Queens), Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Trump won Richmond, Clinton won the other 4.)

Therefore, these 5 counties alone more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles. The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.

If your country encompasses almost 4 million square miles, do you think a national election result should be determined by those who are crowded into 319 square miles?
