The liberal media talked on and on in 2016 about the "blue wall" that Trump could never win ELECTORALLY.
When Trump won, the Democrat/liberal media narrative suddenly shifted after Nov 8th to the POPULAR vote that Hillary won.
If Trump had won the popular vote but not the electoral, the media would only be talking about the electoral vote!
They also haven't reported that Hillary rigged two CNN televised debates, rigged the Democrat primary by leveraging out Bernie Sanders, and all the other ways she cheated to win in 2016, but still lost. I still think, as in 2016, that Democrats substantially rigged the popular vote, and that Hillary didn't even win that except by cheating (Dems double-voting, Dems taking the names of dead people and voting in their names as Democrats).
As G-man cited earlier:
https://www.nationalreview.com/2014/10/voter-id-myth-crashes-mona-charen/ Earlier this year, the Virginia Voters Alliance found that more than 44,000 people were simultaneously registered to vote in Maryland and Virginia. Catherine Englebrecht’s True the Vote found some 6.9 million overlapping voter registrations in the 28 states they examined. For those unburdened by conscience who live close to the border, it’s more than possible to vote early and often.
6.9 million, in only 28 states.
Hillary's margin in the popular vote was 2,868,686 across 50 states.
I think it's entirely possible that Hillary not only didn't win the electoral vote, but also didn't win the popular vote.
