This is not meant to re-battle the election - Trump bizarrely seems to be doing that in every 2nd or third tweet (when does he give that up??). He did win the Electoral College vote and he is now the President of the United States. However, in a country of
330 million [edit] people it was only about 100,000 people in a couple of the swing states, that this whole thing tipped on for Trump - that's it!
Less than that.
It all hinged on about 17,000 people changing their votes in Michigan and Wisconsin. The last time Michigan voted Republican was 88. The last time both went red was 84.
Trump won both states by a combined 33,450 votes. If 17,000 voted like they historically had, Hillary would have won. That's all it took - 5,100 people in Michigan and 12,000 people in Wisconsin.
You could focus on the 44,292 that Trump won by in historically blue Pennsylvania instead - if she carried PA, that would have been enough with MI and WI red - but the PA margin of victory > WI+MI margin.
