Oh Dear Hilarty, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Tipped The Balance For Trump...

[ToraToraTora]

Hilary didn't even campaign in either state. Sounds like her campaign management team messed up badly there.

Hilarty or Hilary won neither of Minnesota or Wisconsin ... go for the edit.

Well, we all make mistakes, even you TTT !

But she still got more votes in America as a whole, then Trump did.

I have been to Wisconsin, and its a very conservative States. So I am surprised that they voted for Trump there, what with his awful opinions of women and sex.

Like UKIP got more votes than the LibDems did. Funny old world innit.

I was watching the news this morning and the presenter was at Clinton rally building after she lost and said that they were all saying"trump supporters are racist, stupid, and shouldn't be aloud to vote.

Reminds me of the remainiacs on the 24th of July.

Overall UKIP may have received more votes in favour of the party than, say, the Liberals yet end up with fer seats: and in the States perhaps more individual votes went to the losing candidate that the winning one. But there is a difference. Here each constituency sends a single representative to the house to represent the area as a result of the general election. Within each constituency the voters get the representative most wanted as first choice. However in the presidential election each State sends a different number of votes into the count, all allocated to just one of the candidates regardless of how the actual votes were split. Somewhat more controversial I'd suggest.

... end up with FEWER seats ...
