Donald Trump Formally Wins 2016 Presidential Election

a lot of lawyers are politicians....wasting time and money is their specialty

Hillary is a Yale law grad...maybe she's looking for work.....

 

Ah yeah thought so! So not every president gets a second 4 years guaranteed.

 

^ yeah, my statement was not meant as a fact, just a hyperbolic complaint.

 

Clear! :cheers2:

 

Today, during a joint session, Congress certified the Electors' votes.


Donald Trump 304

Hillary Clinton 227

 

The whole country will be crying for years to come!

 

Trump won 7/10 of the most racially integrated states. Trump couldn't have won with the white vote alone

Most of the states that WalletHub lists as most racially integrated have a relatively low percentage of voting non-Whites which makes it easy for Trump to win such states without the non-White vote. The White vote in most of these states voted for Trump by a large margin. WalletHub lists Kentucky, Montana, Oklahoma, Idaho, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Texas as being the most racially integrated that Trump won.

Consider Kentucky.

Trump won Kentucky 63% to Clinton's 33%, a 30% spread.

According to exit polls, blacks were 8% of the voters in Kentucky. A difference in Black vote of 8% wouldn't cause Trump to lose Kentucky. The entire non-White voting segment of 12% wouldn't have changed the result.

A similar calculation could be done for the other 6 states that Trump won in the top ten that WalletHub determined to be most racially integrated. Most of these states have a relatively low percentage of non-White voters whose vote likely wouldn't have altered the result which was determined mainly by White voters who voted for Trump by a large margin.

Popular vote:

Montana
Trump 56%, Clinton 36%.

Oklahoma
Trump 65%, Clinton 29%

Idaho
Trump: 59%, Clinton: 27%

Tennessee
Trump 61%, Clinton 35%

West Virginia
Trump 68%, Clinton 26%

 

Texas is different due to the higher percentage of non-White voters.

Trump won Texas with 52% to Clinton's 43% of the popular vote, a 9% spread.

According to exit polls, Trump won 11% of the black vote in Texas. The Black vote was 11% of the voters. 11% of that 11% amounts to about 1% of the popular vote. Losing all of those Black votes wouldn't cause Trump to lose Texas.

The Latino vote could have altered the outcome.

Trump won 34% of the Latino vote in Texas. Exit polls show that the Latino vote was 24% of the voters. 34% of that 24% is about 8%. Trump losing all of his Latino vote would have caused him to lose Texas if all of those votes went to Clinton.
