No, Trump just happened to get 77k more votes across 3 states that barely allowed him to win. All of those states are trending away from him though.Wasn't 5% the threshold at which you start missing a lot of cases in testing?

OT:
So she won the first round but Electorate College decided otherwise which depended on the seat/population ratio of the states in question.
It's an interesting system, though I find it odd that EC voters can actually go against the popular vote of the state they represent.
As far as I read, the reasoning behind that is that politically uneducated people might be swept away by an overly emotional campaign.
I can understand your criticism and see the potential mis-use of such a system. If EC voters can vote "unfaithful" and could (in theory) be bought, the whole election can easily be rigged. Especially in such close calls.
On question comes to mind though: what happens to the losers? In our systems, they form an opposition. Oftentimes the opposition is so strong, that the parties start forming coalitions in order to get a functional government that actually can make decisions.
Is it not the same for yours? I'd reckon that a near 50/50 split would result in a very strong opposition, being able to veto any unpopular move of the winning candidate.
