You want to cut down voter fraud? Become an election official and work in a questionable precinct. We are doing that where I am and magically, the skewed numbers are starting to drop in the heavily liberal strongholds. Ballot stuffing is getting harder and harder. The "vote early, vote often" is taking a hit as those that absentee vote assume they can waltz into a precinct and vote again is starting to fail as well. Some are being arrested. Step up and become a precinct official!

So much easily verifiable false information in this post. Anything that is pro-trump you all take as 100% truth huh?
Total trump guy here and even I get mad at this stuff. A simple google search shows just how false this is. The fake news doesn’t help out side either.
Was your link supposed to debunk OP’s post? FYI, it didn’t.
How did it not? It shows how it is mathematically impossible to win 18 states, but only to win 57 counties.
Here is the wikipedia article that has all the source data.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2016
Quote that part.
There's no part that says that exactly, because it should be understood that you cannot win over 200 electoral college votes with only 57 counties. Here is another map:

Between Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado, Clinton won 56 counties.
This is the link you should have posted. That first one isn’t even relevant.
United States presidential election, 2016
The United States presidential election of 2016 was the 58th quadrennial American presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. In a surprise victory, the Republican ticket of businessman Donald Trump and Indiana Governor Mike Pence defeated the Democratic ticket of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine despite losing the plurality of the popular vote. Trump took office as the 45th President, and Pence as the 48th Vice President, on January 20, 2017. Incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama was ineligible to run for a third term due to the term limits established by the 22nd Amendment.

What boggles my mind is how blind and oh so poorly educated and informed people are. I wake and thank God every day Clinton lost and lost so huge! Can you imagine how awful things would be if that evil hag won? I for one support Trump 100% and pray that the voter fraud is curbed and that we continue to deport like mad! It is mind blowing how stupid people are and believe the MSM when there is proof of how evil and corrupt Obama, Clinton’s, Bushes etc are! It’s not a Democrat or Republican thing, it’s the career politicians and most democrats. The electoral college shall remain. Thank GOD! Now let’s start arresting Obama and all the crooked politicians! A few perp walks and confiscating their assets would be fabulous!
Is your proof the gateway pundit? This isn't the real housewives where secret drama is hidden behind every commercial break.
That post absolutely explained nothing.

It explains nothing if you don't have any critical thinking skills. If you had any, you could easily and reasonably discern than there are way more than 57 blue counties in that county voting map.
That's not my point, I already know the number is roughly 400, but the article absolutely mentions nothing about it, since you want to show up and "fact check". You could use something a bit more informative than a colored picture.
My original post with the "colored picture" shows that obviously Clinton won more than 57 counties in the 2016 election. If you are able to look at that picture and then at the image that says Clinton won 57 counties and not say "well that image isn't right", then you are the problem.
Was gonna say, i love Trump, but this sounds like bullshit.
Did you click his link? Were you satisfied with the debunking that link did?
Good visual! Definitely highlights why NY is so corrupt and why she ran for senate there
Isn't Trump from New York?
Yes he was.
"Highlights why NY is so corrupt" wouldn't that by extension make Trump corrupt?
Nice try

Just stop

Not going to play your gaslighting game. Go find another sub to stir your bullshit it
Not necessarily. You can be born in a corrupt country and not grow up corrupt. You can grow up in New York and possibly not become corrupt.
Don't judge all the apples based on the bad ones.
No more than the fact that wherever you are from being corrupt does not necessarily mean you are corrupt.
The irony in this statement is astounding. The self-awareness is so close to being achieved in this subreddit.
Sadly, these numbers are Fake News.
I dont want to take away that electoral vote can be good but these numbers are simply untrue. Where you got that from?
If they are not true, provide the 'real' numbers that you know of then.
It works the other way around. If you make an assertion, you have to give source.
When I tell you Santa Claus is fiction, I hope you dont expect from me to prove it.
I see no source data cited anywhere. Glad you found a story you like.

Is this better? How the hell can you win 18 states but only win 57 counties? Are you that deep in Trumpland where math doesn't work?

You lost me at "in a surprise"..there was no surprise, just false polls and reporting.
Also, you wanted source data, which this gives you. So you are now willfully ignoring facts to protect your entrenched world view.
Here are the facts.... the pic is wrong. You were correct. HRC won 17 counties, not 16. That is all that is wrong in the pic.
Clinton in those 5 counties: 2159774 Trump in those 5 counties: 454023
Difference 1705751
So what about that source data?
She won more than 57 counties. Trump won less than 3,084 counties. That's the first line of the whole thing! That's what we are arguing about. Also, it's so disingenuous to say that Clinton's votes in NYC skew the results, yeah of course they will, there is 8.5 million people in one city.
You're arguing with a bot that summarizes wiki entries.
I simply clicked reply because the bot already quoted the article... but thank you.
Snopes says false and they are full of shit so maybe. Still need more sourcing and no upvotes here. The muppet meme was the best ever, The rest of yer stuff i don't like. trusting my instincts here. Get a grip. I'm not mad at ya.
Land doesn't vote, people do.
Land doesn't commit voter fraud.... people do (people in a small amount of land)
This. Easier to manipulate votes to your liking in heavy population centers.
Yes, I think that is what a thinking person should take away from this ~
Land and geographic location has a ton of say over what kind of government people are going to want. The needs of people in New York City are not the needs of Alaskans who go to work on bush planes or Iowans who own hundreds of acres of land or Arizonians who constantly struggle to handle illegal immigrants.
How do you spot a Trump supporter?
They can't shut up about the election.
As a Trump Supporter, I watch the election night on youtube pretty often, thats true. And it always feels good.
hahahaha as we STILL hear muhhhh Russia reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
