For Hillarys popular vote 'win'


I'm finding validation for HRC's popular vote win? That will come as a surprise to those who know that I was #neverHillary.

1) The map is inaccurate, because its not how we elect presidents

2) The map is inaccurate, because if important, then the candidates would have campaigned better

3) The map is inaccurate, or else they would have posted a cartogram of electoral importance (which btw, wouldn't look much different from the counties map)


The map is not inaccurate. The data it displays is simply that, data. By all means, claim that people using the data to make some sort of pro-HRC are making ridiculous claims, but the map itself is not inaccurate.

Even the OP didn't seem to be making this claim. It's one thing to find it useless, which then means they should ignore it. But RobbBobb is making such a nonsensical argument about the accuracy, that accuracy has no objective meaning in that case.

dammit son, ITS A FACT CHECKING SITE

What fact, needs to be checked, in an EC vote, that would require the representation of that distorted map

Did they note that Trumps election was 'Mostly False', and heres a distorted map to prove it??? Does that map, and the numbers it represent, have anything to do with the certification of Trumps election? Anything at all???

No, its just a feel good, about, what might have been if the rules were changed. Which is not a fact. Its a fantasy. Which doesn't belong on a Fact Check Website!! Because that was the point of the thread
