And how many more electors would he have won if he's rung up 1 million more votes in those states?


More than if he had received 77,745 less votes.

You're hung up on a mere technicality - it does not matter his margin of victory in the states needed to secure victory in the EC, just as HRC's vote padding in California and New York are irrelevant, once she was at 50%+1 for both of those states.

Let's put it this way - if candidate A wins by less than 1% in 48 states, and candidate B wins NY and California 67% to 33% - candidate A, quite frankly, has whipped candidate B's arse, quite handily - like LBJ vs. Goldwater or Denali vs. Mondale - the raw popular vote totals - in the aggregate, or cherry picking to see how many votes in what districts would have swayed it this way or that is academic navel-gazing - at best, and attempts to subvert a constitutionally installed President's authority at worst.

So, 77,745 - Trump got them and HRC didn't - that's all that really matters at this point. 304 - 227 is the final score. Honestly, I don't care how many passing TDs HRC had in the loss. Good for Citizen Hillary.
