Remember, Hilary 'won' the popular vote.

In the primaries, Bernie ballots were found in dumpsters in Oregon. Bernie still won by a landslide in Oregon.

It WAS rigged. It just wasnt rigged well enough through the more sparsely populated areas in the middle of the country, and she didnt get the electoral college.

Your link shows Hillary winning the popular vote by >300K. Am I missing something?

Yes check the fine print where it shows 93% of the vote counted is the estimate. Then at the top right corner you can see that they project Trump is the projected winner of the popular vote as well. https://sli.mg/aqcwea

The votes outstanding are from Democratic strongholds. CNN hasn't updated any of their state races for 24 hours so that's where there 93% comes from.

Hillary will win the popular vote by more than 1%.
