Podesta isn ' t the one saying it . <| sep |> Even with that Super Vegito ? I thought SV made everything ez . <| sep |> I ' m finally getting tired of this meme . <| sep |> How small can the wire go ? Perhaps , in a miracle of accuracy , they allow for the thickness of the wire when the is cut . By this I mean that the outline of the is chosen slightly too big by an amount equal to the thickness of the wire . Or , they could cut it even bigger and then gradually polish it down ? <| sep |> These are the swing states Trump won that should have gone to Clinton , if the preelection polling averages were accurate . State Trump Clinton Johnson SteinFlorida 4 , 605 , 515 4 , 485 , 745 206 , 007 64 , 019 Pennsylvania 2 , 912 , 941 2 , 844 , 705 142 , 653 48 , 912 Wisconsin 1 , 409 , 467 1 , 382 , 210 106 , 442 30 , 980 Michigan 2 , 279 , 805 2 , 268 , 193 173 , 057 50 , 700 If we take the Stein votes and shift them to Clinton , the chart looks like thisState Trump Clinton JohnsonFlorida 4 , 605 , 515 4 , 549 , 764 206 , 007 Pennsylvania 2 , 912 , 941 2 , 893 , 617 142 , 653 Wisconsin 1 , 409 , 467 1 , 413 , 190 106 , 442 Michigan 2 , 279 , 805 2 , 318 , 893 173 , 057 In that scenario , Clinton takes Wisconsin and Michigan . Her total goes from 232 electoral votes to 258 electoral votes . She still loses . If anyone wants to run the numbers on all the other states , be my guest , but they ' re even less likely to change the outcome . I ' m disappointed in Chomsky . This statement is lacking his usual critical thinking and assessment . Not only would Clinton still have lost if every Stein voter cast their vote for Clinton , but Stein voters really only had influence in the swing states in the first place . If he wanted Clinton to win and more importantly , if he wanted the root of the problem actually fixed , he ' d be talking about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact or the bill introduced by Charles B . Rangel and Barbara Boxer that would abolish the electoral c o l l e g e r e l e a s e s r a n g e l i n t r o d u c e s b i l l a b o l i shelectoralcollegeClinton did win the national popular vote , after all . If the electoral college didn ' t exist , she ' d be on her way to the white house .
