For those who are still not sure, Hillary Clinton won the election.If she's from any other country of the world, any country apart from US with their Electoral College,she is the president today. .

People should be praising Hillary Clinton for defeating a man in such a strong contest as evident in the official results. But some peoples' focus is how to rubbish a prophet ignorantly. It is well! . . Source... [url=http://ngtag..co.id/2016/11/shocking-see-final-results-of-american.html?m=1[/url] |

Clinton is the peoples choice however, she knows the system too well to have been beaten by it! Trump the vessel of uncertainties . I hope his presidency won't Slow our recovery from this crippling recession. |

sirfee:The American system allocates electors per state and has 538 electors. Therefore, to win the presidency u need 270 electors. It is therefore possible to win the presidency and not win the highest total votes nationally. Imagine say Kano that gave buhari 1.9m votes only has 30 electors, it doesn't matter whether buhari won the state with 1.9m or 1000 votes he gets the 30 electors! Big margin wins in a state is of no consequence. Just win it! This is however happening only the 5th time in US history with the most recent being that of Bush Jr Vs Al Gore in 2000.Al Gore then VP and democrat candidate won the popular votes with over 500000 but 267 electors while Bush Jr won the electoral college votes 271 to become president. |

sirfee:in the U.S there are two types of vote, electoral votes ( which is 270, you need to pass that number to be the next president of the U.S, DT won 288.) and popular votes, the electoral votes makes you the winner. Hillary won the popular votes but Donald trump won the electoral votes.. A similar thing in Nigeria is when you win about 2/3 majority across Nigeria.. Clinton majorly won in democratic strongholds ( remember population varies in some states in the US). While trump had a wide spread!! |

sweerychick:thank u but the electoral college votes is not the same across the country e.g Ohio,Florida,New Hampsire why do you have any idea |

sirfee: Each state in the US is given electoral votes according to their economic importance (more attestation to inequality in that country). California as the most economically important state in the US has the most electoral votes which is 55. Some states have just 1. All 50 states total 538 electoral votes (270 needed to win). To get the electoral votes u need to win the state. It doesn't matter if it's by 1 vote or 1million votes, as long as you win the state. The winner of the state votes takes all the electoral votes from that state. While hillary had more popular votes, trump won the more economically important states and so got the most electoral votes. Funny enough hillary won california and took all 55 votes but she still couldn't get to 270 3 Likes |

sirfee:I think it has to do with size and population, for instance California has electoral college of 55, Florida 29 and etc |

It's a system that could work in Africa if the states were substituted with tribes so that tribes with bigger population do not stay in power indefinitely at the expense of smaller tribes. |

Dexti: This cannot prove T.B Joshua right. America has a system and all predictions should follow that system. You can't shift a goal post in the middle of a game. The prophet failed in his prophecy and nothing can change that fact. |
