The election was effectively decided by 107,000 people in three states. Trump won the popular vote there by that combined amount. That amounts to 0.09 percent of all votes cast in this election. Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania account for 46 electoral votes. If Clinton had won these states, she could have sealed the presidency with 274 total electoral votes.

That number of votes is about the same as the number of people who can pack into Michigan’s “Big House” stadium.

Of the more than 120 million votes cast in the 2016 election, 107,000 votes in three states effectively decided the election.

I'm curious as to how many of those 07,000 votes in those 3 States feel any different several months later? ;)
 
Yep, Trump beat Hillary in a close election. Meanwhile, the republicants also gained more Senate, House, governor and state legislature seats - perhaps that is worth mentioning too. ;)
