I'll dispute that characterization... at the moment these are the results from CNN.
Clinton 59,462,301
Trump 59,272,991
A 189,310 difference is not significant enough to say she had the popular vote. Barely had the popular vote. And as we know, it isn't a popularity contest. And from looking at past results, she didn't get out the vote as she needed to.
See attachment for an analysis of current and past numbers, but voting seems to have been down this year by 4% compared with 2012. That is telling right there, though I'll leave it to poli-sci majors to figure out what it means.
