I doubt your claim. How come Hillary Clinton won majority votes in 2016 but defeated by Trump through electoral college.

She won majority votes in states with less number of electoral college, states with high number of electoral college are called swings state, those are the most important states.

For Example candidate A can win a majority votes with a margin of 5million in Tiger city, which has 10 electoral college, while candidate B can win in Lion city with a margin of just 1 million but lion city has electoral college of 30; candidate B will be declared winner, although Candidate A has the majority votes with a margin of 4million, but candidate B has higher electoral college votes which is 30 compared to 10.

I hope u get this analysis.

Anybody that wins the popular votes has greater chance of becoming the president.

Normally, majority votes should be the winner even in the electoral college but we have faithless electors( they could vote for whomever they like in the college). Some states do not have any real consequences against these faithless electors.

So Electoral college has the final say.

In US, every state is alloted certain electoral college votes based on their population.
There are others with more ecletoral college votes than others.
All together they have Total 538 electoral college votes.
From the 538, a candidate must secure 270 to be elected as the POTUS/ President of United States
You can have popular votes in Us but still fail to meet the electoral college votes, just like in 2016. Hilary has more votes in US over 2m than Trump yet she didn't meet the college votes.
In other to meet the electoral college votes, you have to win those state, they do refer to them as swing states, Florida, Pennsylvania,Texas, Ohio and others.
How the electoral college votes works.
For Example, Florida is alloted with 29 electoral college votes.
And when the total Votes in Florida is announced
GOP/ Republican has 200,000 votes while Democratic has 300,000. The implication is that the total Electoral college votes of 29 in Florida goes to Democratic.
Their electoral college votes are not the same in every state, hence, the need to win those states with higher electoral college votes.
Only 2 states share the electoral college votes according to votes proportion

Pardon me, but is it when the total votes have been counted or the first to get there?

Also, can a candidate just pick selected states and campaign vigorously in them to give him the 270 votes?

It's kind of confusing, especially the part where it's not the candidate with the highest number of votes that'll win the election, not even the candidate that wins the highest number of state, cos some of the states might just be "useless" in the general scheme of things

Sorry for the question if they're much

Forget the $58million that was raised by Harrison he will surely lose. Dems wanted to punish Graham for siding with Trump and for pushing to confirm Justice Amy Barret. They will all fail. TRIUMPHANT TRUMP will surely Triumph.

listen to yourself very well. Muslems are making the karabash case a religious one.
Israeli/Palestinian conflict was never a religious conflict, Israel has many muslems too. But the Palestinians made it look like a religious war to increases the hatred of Israel by the Moslem world.
Jerusalem and Palestinian land traditionally belongs to Israel as karabakh traditionally belongs to Azerbaijan.

The Arab league came in using the cause of Islam to instigate the people who call themselves Palestinians today.

This isn't exactly so.
States with more population have a higher number of electors in the electoral college
California has 55, Texas 38, NY 29, Florida 29 etc

States with smaller populations have fewer electoral college numbers eg Vermont with 3, Wyoming with 3 etc.

Each state has election supervisor. And each state is independent. In Florida for Example, as soon as the votes are counted. Assuming Total votes are 3m. Democratic has 2m while Republican has 1m. The total Electoral college votes in Florida is 29. So the 29 electoral college votes go to Democratic. The 1m votes for Republican is rendered useless. It's a case of winner takes the whole electoral college votes in each state. In Pennsylvania now, the electoral college votes is 20. After, the whole votes in Pennsylvania. Any candidate between the 2 takes the whole 20 electoral college votes Same apply to 48 states in US.
However, the total Electoral college votes in US is 538. A candidate must secure 270 to be the President.
The 538 electoral college votes are shared among the 50 states in US. Based on population and other factors.
When a Candidate wins a particular state, he gets the total number of electoral college votes alloted to such state.
Just 2 states out of 50 only share the electoral college votes according to votes proportion

@bold
Exactly.

There are some states know as Swing States or Toss up states. This is because they swing from democrats to republican party when voting in every election.
E.g Florida or Pennsylvania
Both states voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 i.e democratic but in 2016 voted Trump i.e republican.

Both parties camp in these states and campaign even till election day because the states can go either way unlike solid states which traditionally vote for one party for decades
e.g California always vote democratic so Trump will see it as a waste to heavily campaign there.
And Alabama always vote republican so Biden won't bother campaigning there.
