I wouldn't call losoing the popular vote by almost 3 million is a "trounce", it is a fluke of the electoral college, which is now a joke.
Well, I'll admit cheating isn't born out of ignorance, it's born out a lack of integrity.
Trump Conspired with Kris Kobach, via a voter registration program called "interstate crosscheck", which purged some 1.1 million names from the voter registration rolls. Because the program was biased against minorities who vote largely for dems, more dems were purged than repubs. The purged count in the swing states exceed Trump's win numbers by some 10 fold. But for interstate crosscheck, there's a strong likelihood the outcome would havve been different in those states, as all of the swing states disallowed Jill Stein her recount, which was to count the provisional ballots that were given to the purged names who voted, but were not counted ( in two of the states).
Sen. Warren will introduce legislation to stop this practice.
