Default Interesting perspective on electoral college value

There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton
received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton won 4 of these counties, Trump won
Richmond)

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the
entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be
ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those that encompass a mere 319 square miles should
dictate the outcome of a national election.


***No, I did not check each and every number.***
