رابط مختصرHow Hillary Clinton Won the Popular Vote But Lost the ElectionDonald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton last night (Nov. 8) to become the 45th President of the United States. The man who will be sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2017 was picked to lose in almost every mainstream projection, leading up to the shocking news that he not only won, but soundly defeated Clinton. Presidential elections are decided by capturing the majority of the United States’ 538 electoral votes; at publication time, Trump led Clinton 279 to 218, thus topping the 270 needed for said majority.But what does that all mean؟ You might be hearing a lot of talk about how Clinton actually won the popular vote. At publication time, she indeed led Trump by about 175,000 votes, according to the Associated Press. As Clinton-friendly West Coast votes continue to be counted, that margin figures to increase. So if more people voted for Clinton, why did Trump win the election؟ This is where the United States Electoral College comes in. It’s been in place since the Constitution was first drawn up and, ideally, it’s supposed to protect against a lot of perceived problems that would come from a straight-up popular vote. Each state is given a share of the United States’ 538 electoral votes based off its population, with totals ranging from California’s 55 to a number of states with only three.This might seem like a wide margin, but in the big picture, it supposedly levels the playing field for sparsely-populated states like Wyoming and North Dakota, which could see even less national attention if their less-than-a-million populations were siphoned into the United States’ 300 million-plus electorate. The country is undoubtedly a melting pot of social groups, and by giving a unique say to each state, the Electoral College is supposed to foster individual interests that would be swallowed up in a winner-take-all affair.

Regardless of how decisively you win them, you can only win them one time, and there’s a set amount of electoral votes you earn. Trump’s grand total of votes was spread more evenly throughout the country and he won many more states, albeit often by a slim margin.

Moby's Letter To America: 'What the F--k is Wrong With You؟' (Exclusive)
The dance music icon has a few thoughts on Tuesday night's (Nov. 8) election results.
Moby was #WithHer from day one, vociferously pronouncing his support for Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House, praising her years of experience in office and, most recently, releasing a pair of anti-Donald Trump songs as part of Dave Eggers' "30 Days, 50 Songs" project, "Trump is on Your Side" and "Little Failure." The EDM producer/star has known the former First Lady for nearly 20 years and was not shy about his disdain for real estate mogul, reality TV star and now, president-elect Trump, recently calling him "seriously broken inside" and an "actual sociopath."
Below is an open open letter to America that Moby shared with Billboard about his feelings on Trump's victory:
america,
why are you so afraid of evidence؟
you smoke cigarettes,naively believing they won't kill you. you eat garbage, believing it won't make you sick and obese.
and now you've elected donald trump.
'christians' and family-values voters have en masse helped elect a twice divorced man who openly brags about infidelity and committing sexual assault.
30% of latinos have helped elect a man who has routinely maligned latinos and called mexicans 'rapists'.
45% of women have helped elect a man who brags about 'grabbing women by the pussy' and has called women 'pigs' and 'slobs'.
business-minded middle america has en masse helped elect a man who has led roughly half of his businesses to bankruptcy and lost
close to a billion dollars in 1995 alone.
and blue collar middle america has en masse helped elect a trust-fund baby who has, over-time, inherited over $600,000,000.00 from his father.
and in the process you've denied the presidency to an experienced and erudite woman whose only shortcoming is being on the receiving end
of a 30 year right-wing smear campaign.
as a life long progressive i'm supposed to be diplomatic and understanding, but america, what the ######## is wrong with you؟
but then i ask myself, very sadly, why am i surprised؟
this is the same america that eats at burger king and is baffled as to why it ends up obese and cancerous and dying
this is the same america who thinks that granting health care to 20,000,000 people is somehow treasonous.
and this is the america who has now elected a dim-witted, racist, misogynist.
a dim-witted, racist, misogynist who has ruined businesses and has no policy proposals other than 'build a wall'.
i guess there will be some cold, bitter schadenfreude in spending the next 4 years watching middle america wake up to the fact
that donald trump is an incompetent con-man.
the rust belt jobs won't come back. the wall won't get built. and hillary won't get locked up.
donald trump will be impeached, or end his presidency with single digit approval ratings.
and hopefully, somehow, america will finally wake up the fact that republicans are, simply, terrible.
reagan and bush sr. and the republicans ruined the economy, bill clinton and the democrats fixed it.
george w. bush and the republicans ruined the economy all over again, obama and the democrats fixed it.
in some baffling, habitual masochism americans keep going back to what's bad for them, whether it's food or political parties.
and the climate will suffer. the inner cities will suffer. children will suffer. animals will suffer. gun deaths will continue to skyrocket.
we will suffer. all because americans live in this delusional, upside down world wherein they're unwilling to look at evidence.
but here are the facts:
junk food makes you fat and kills you.
cigarettes give you cancer.
and donald trump is a racist and a misogynist who has ruined countless businesses and will be the worst president our country has ever, ever seen.
