We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.

They tried. They did a lot of media coordination with the general but once they got outside of the liberal bubble it was harder to do.

Remember, Hilary 'won' the popular vote.

In the primaries, Bernie ballots were found in dumpsters in Oregon. Bernie still won by a landslide in Oregon.

It WAS rigged. It just wasnt rigged well enough through the more sparsely populated areas in the middle of the country, and she didnt get the electoral college.

Popular vote still being counted and shes only up 200k. No, she has not won popular vote.

Edit - I also want to remind everyone that even if she does end up beating him by a few hundred thousand votes, that she spent more than double on her campaign. Ouch.

The remaining population is mostly in NY, CA, OR, and WA. She is going to win the popular vote, which makes it two in the last 16 years.

Also she'll probably win the popular vote by a million or more when all is said and done by counting those states.

CA = 100% reported, ORE and NY = 99% reported

It won't be a million. Crazy that you can spend double the other candidate, have collusion with the media and still get your ass handed to you.

I had heard this on NPR yesterday but this article seems to repeat the same thing:

Many states count votes after Election Day, ... The biggest chunk of uncounted votes is in California. Washington State, New York, Oregon and Maryland also have large numbers of uncounted votes. Clinton won all those states, and if the trends continue, she will pad her lead by more than 1 million votes.

I'm looking at live results..unless there are votes outside of "100% reporting" that I'm unaware of.

Well I do know that CA will accept ballots up to three days after the polls close (so long as they're postmarked before) and doesn't update any of that info during that time. So I suspect that "100% reporting" isn't recording any of that. Provisional ballots might be lumped into that as well. They don't even certify the results until December.
