BARELY 72 hours after the US President-elect Donald Trump was declared winner of the just concluded US presidential election, fresh facts have emerged why the former Democrats presidential candidate lost in the keenly contested election, the Los Angeles Times has reported.
According to reports, Hillary Clinton would have won the popular votes by well over one million votes had all registered voters voted. Over 4.3 million registered voters boycotted the polls in California thus giving Mr. Trump an edge over his rival.
The paper reports that ''when all the ballots were counted — some 4.3 million remained in California as of Thursday night, according to the state’s secretary of state — Hillary Clinton will have won the popular vote by well over a million votes, en route to losing the electoral college and the White House.
''The result put a spotlight on the country’s deep, almost 50/50 division. Democrats, many still in shock over a result that most people in either party did not expect, have been agonizing over how this happened.''
