The Election Came Down to 77,744 Votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan (Updated)
Donald Trump owes his victory in the Electoral College to three states he won by the smallest number of votes: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So it's fair to say that the 2016 presidential election was decided by about 77,000 votes out of than 136 million ballots cast. According to the final tallies, Trump won Pennsylvania by 0.7 percentage points (44,292 votes), Wisconsin by 0.7 points (22,748 votes), Michigan by 0.2 points (10,704 votes). If Clinton had won all three states, she would have won the Electoral College 278 to 260. She fell short in all three, of course, and that's why we are now getting accustomed to the reality of President-elect Donald J. Trump.
In 2004,2008 and 2012 polls got The EC and popular vote right.
In 2004,2008,2012 and 2016 polls got the popular vote right and was off by 78,000 votes in The EC in 2016.

If, if,if. If Hillary had balls she'd have been banging Monica. Right?
