Results

The polls were way off, so many forecasts -- including this one!  -- were way off, too.

But one prediction came true:  Hillary Clinton won the national popular vote.

Trouble is, the distribution was highly inefficient.  She built up million-plus margins in New York and California, while running behind in the rest of the country.

Here is the raw-vote math as of this morning (percentages are two-party vote): 


Clinton
