about 59 mil votes for each candidate - that's ~ 120mil votes

don't u guys have like 320 million people? at about 1/3 of the population, that seems like an unusually low voter turnout

you're counting people under 18.

218 million are eligible voters, only 146 mill are actually registered

320 but that includes children too. There are about 250 million eligible voters, and turnout this year was 55.6%, which is fairly low but we're complacent about such things.

ok but ... 200 million?

60 mil votes is less than 20% of the population voting for either candidate

idk that seems really low to me

The way the electoral college works, for many people it's pointless to vote other than civic duty. For example, in California Republicans tend to just stay home. The state overwhelmingly votes Democrat, to such a degree that CNN called the state last night with 0% returns on the exact minute the polls closed.

The protesting is funny. Imagine if people had protested opening about Obama. HATE CRIME

Fool	11-09-2016 18:26

Imagine if all of the people who showed up to protests actually showed up to vote. I mean, assuming they were eligible to vote in the first place.

even if u only have 240 mil when you exclude <18 that still seems like crazy low engagement in choosing your countries future

and the small margin of win / huge party divide makes it so that only about 1/4 of eligible voters actually cast a vote for your president

Liberal students across the nation watched in shock as Donald Trump clinched victory from Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president of the United States.

But some wiped their tears, and pulled themselves together enough to ask their professors to cancel their exams because they were so upset by the results.

And one Yale economics professor heard the cry, and decided to protect his snowflake charges by making the test optional.

Nobody's stopping them from voting other than themselves. The reason we have the electoral college is so that two or three population areas don't dictate the election every time. If we went on a straight popular vote, 95% of America would be ignored for the needs of New York, DC, and Los Angeles.
