The popular vote count is final now and it makes history too.
--Hillary Clinton won a total of 65,844,610 votes ― 48.2 percent
--Donald Trump won 62,979,636 votes ― 46.1 percent
--Other candidates took 7,804,213 ballots, or about 5.7 percent

With almost 3,000,000 more votes than Trump, Hillary Clinton's popular victory is the largest recorded by a candidate who didn't win the electoral vote.
Trump's counter-claim that he won a “massive landslide victory” in the Electoral College is bogus. PolitiFact ruled that claim “false,” noting that Trump’s win ranks near the bottom in terms of the portion of total available electoral votes won by a candidate. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/...as-not-ma/
None of it makes a difference in terms in the outcome of the election, but interesting to see how the votes all stacked up.
