He had more states.

This is actually how every democracy works. For example in Canada whoever has the most ridings wins, meaning it's possible to win a federal election without winning the popular vote as long as you win the most ridings.

It's how it works in the EU as well. But dumb europeans don't even understand their own system is similar while they mock ours.

> retarded weighted elections in a parliamentary system is totally democratic and sheeeiit.
so if every parliamentary district votes for a particular party you "re-align it" so the losing parties get "proportional representation" regardless of district voting choices.
essentially the votes of some people are nullified so you can install a few arabs in the knesset no matter that every electoral race went to another party
Protip: thats not a "democracy" or representative republic, it's changing the outcome, regardless of results so you can claim to have "fair representation" when youre really disenfranchising your own people

That's actually not the case at all. Dunno where you read that shit.
Nobody counts districts, it's purely about the numbers here.

The votes that get nullified are only ones that went for parties that didn't receive the minimum 4% to get into parliament.

Voter fraud and Soros

$80M Anti-Trump Network Spearheaded by Soros-Funded Org With Former ACORN Employees
Network will focus on pushing back against voter laws leading up to the 2018 and 2020 elections

http://freebeacon.com/issues/soros-funded-anti-trump-network-has-acorn-ties/

A new $80 million anti-Trump network is being led by an organization whose top funder is liberal billionaire George Soros and which employs former members of the controversial and now-defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

The Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund, the 501(c)(4) sister organization of the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD), a New York-based nonprofit that receives the bulk of its funding from George Soros, announced at their spring gala Tuesday that they will be heading up the new $80 million anti-Trump network that will span 32 states and have 48 local partners, CNN reported.

The Center for Popular Democracy, which was founded in 2012, consists of old chapters of ACORN, the community-organizing group that was forced to close after being stripped of its federal funds following controversy in 2010.

Andrew Friedman, a co-executive director at the Center for Popular Democracy, co-founded Make the Road New York, a Latino immigrant group that has worked alongside CPD on a number of anti-Trump campaigns.

Are you posting this to imply that most people in the US voted republican or something?

It's so pathetic how you guys keep pulling out this map for every thread like this as if half of the population doesn't live in the blue areas. It genuinely makes it seem like you don't understand what population density is and think people are just spread evenly across the country or something.

Trump won fair and square but more people voted for Clinton. Posting this map doesn't change the fact that the majority of the voters didn't want Trump.

Zero substance.

A Republic is a type of government, democracy describes a government process of choosing leaders. There are undemocratic republics and democratic non-republics. The conservative meme of republic and democracy being opposite sides of a spectrum is a farce regurgitated ad nauseum by brainlets. Like you.
