Quote:This will be a moot point because of how the presidential election is decided, but the popular vote totals are crazy close (and still in favor of Clinton).

The popular vote being so crazy close is an indication of the increased support Trump got in the big, urban areas (and also an indication of low turnout for Clinton in those areas).

Think about it.

How many MILLIONS of people are in NYC, LA, and Chicago (just to name 3 of the biggest cities). These cities are overwhelmingly Blue most of the time. The popular vote being so close means that either:

-Trump overwhelmingly dominated the popular vote in a huge swath of the country

-Trump had a huge increase of support in the big cities (combined with non-support of HRC).

Probably a bit of both.

But,just like the discussion in another thread, if the electoral college did not exist, NYC, LA, CHICAGO, and big metropolises such as that would decide everything for everyone.
