What mandate? Trump has now received less than 50% of the votes cast
News media pundits are still crowing about Donald Trump’s “decisive” victory based on a lot of states showing up as red in the Electoral College tally.
Actual votes counted? A different picture, but don’t expect to see it in traditional news.
As of 6 pm Pacific on Monday, the University of Florida Election Lab reports 155,803,701 ballots cast.
CNN reports Trump has received 76,611,197 votes.
Do the math: that’s 49.2% of ballots cast. (CNN reports: 49.9%)
Neither is a mandate.
