If you believe in Polls:
This year, one candidate can win by more than 50 million votes, and still lose the election because of the winner-take all system in the electoral college. 48 states (all except Nebraska and Maine) allocate votes in the “winner take all” system. This means that all votes for the losing candidate – whether the candidate loses by a single vote, less than 100 votes, or millions of votes – are discarded at the state level and are NOT counted toward the final tally of electoral college votes. If you are going to blog anything about the election, please let it be this.
