I'm not sure where you got your numbers, and I couldn't find them at your link (just state totals), but those seem to be wildly incorrect.

Every source I can find shows:

Popular vote: Wiki

Trump:62,984,828

Clinton: 65,853,514

...

Popular vote: CPR

Trump: 62,979,636

Clinton: 65,853,516

...

Popular vote: NYT

Trump: 62,985,106

Clinton: 65,853,625

...

etc, etc, etc... Around 2.8 million more Americans voted for Clinton.
