Only if rocks, dirt, and trees voted. This is probably a more accurate way to look at it.

Do'h! Meant to quote the one with the red and blue map. Whatever, I'm too lazy to change it now.

Too fucking bad he didn't stick to it.

He later clarified that he would accept the results if he won. I guess it's good to see that he stuck to one promise.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Well, he's probably right.

There's around 11 million illegal immigrants in the US by most estimates. I saw a poll recently that reckons 13% of illegal immigrants voted (aware this is flimsy as fuck, but let's assume it's a reasonable guess).

Okay, imagine 13% of 11 million people (1430000) did actually vote. Are they going to vote for the guy who said he's going to deport them? Highly doubtful, let's say 90% (a conservative estimate if you ask me, probably more like 100%) voted for Hillary. That's 1287000 people.

Election results as of what I'm looking at right now:

Trump: 62,379,366
Hillary: 64,469,963

Let's take the illegal's votes away from Hillary

64,469,963 - 1287000 = 63182963

Shit. That's still more than Trump.

I demand a recount!

Jesus, Napo, stop getting your news from paranoid idiots that don't care about actual facts.

Quote:News 21, a national investigative reporting project funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, found just 56 cases of noncitizens voting between 2000 and 2011.

Yeah, I'm sure we saw an increase of 2,678,000% in illegal immigrants voting in 2016.

Um, I'm sorry where did I say I get my news from for you to make that assumption? I'm guessing by facts you clarify this with "Well, we don’t know for absolute certain" as the article states? Regardless of what the number is, do you really think it was only 56 out of over 150 million voters? *

And it's me that is delusional? Top kek. With all the talk about voter fraud you'd think the skeptics would be more skeptical.

Besides, did you even read? "Shit. That's still more than Trump." The whole point of what I posted was that it wouldn't change the outcome for Trump anyway, so nerr nerr, even when I'm agreeing with the circle jerk you guys find a reason to disagree and act superior.


*edit oh wait, this is even more outrageous than I thought I read originally, it's saying 56 throughout 2000 to 2011 only 56 cases of noncitizens voting, well I guess that's the exact number of noncitizens actually voting through that period isn't it. /s
