Final vote tallies from the November 8 election show that Democrat Hillary Clinton out-polled President-elect Donald Trump by 2.8 million votes while losing the contest by a wide margin in the all-important Electoral College.
Her upper hand with voters, however, came down to performances in New York and California that were far stronger than necessary.
Clinton won California by 4.2 million and took New York by more than 1.6 million. The combined 5.8 million-vote advantage in just those two states was more than twice the size of her overall edge nationwide.
When the dust settled, she lost the rest of the country by 3 million votes.

Whenever I hear about the failure of the Electoral College as being unconstitutional I'm reminded of the 1960 World Series between the New York Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Series went to game seven all knotted. The Yanks won three games: 16-3, 10-0 and 12-0
The Pirates, with a dramatic last inning home run from shortstop Bill Mazerowski won in the World Series.
The Bucs won by scores of 6-4, 3-2, 5-2 and 10-9.
Using liberal speak the Yankees were gyped, screwed, taken advantage of, ripped off, because the scored a grand total of 46 runs while Pittsburgh only tallied 17.
And that's the way the Electoral College works.
