The Popular Vote Myth Explained
Votes are counted until there is no reason to count any more votes.
Not every vote is counted.
A calculation is done based on the number of unknown uncounted votes available.
If the gap between the two candidates is more than the number of unknown uncounted votes available then the count is halted as there is no point to continue.
Total number of votes entered = 1999
Candidate X has 1000 votes
Candidate Y has 900 votes
Uncounted Votes = 99
The counting is halted and the 99 votes remain unknown and uncounted because there is no longer any point in counting them.
Did candidate X actually have 1099 votes?
Did candidate Y actually have 999 votes?
We will never know.
The next time some frickin' idiot tells you that Hillary won the Popular Vote, just explain to him that he is a fool and does not know what he is talking about.
Since not all votes are actually counted, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHO WON THE POPULAR VOTE!
Our tallying system simply doesn't work that way for Presidential elections.
Tell Reid and Moore to go back to school and take another civics course so the next time they speak, so they might actually know what they are talking about the next time they open their ignorant mouths.
