There’s a lot of noise out there for a popular vote outcome to determine the Presidential race, particularly from those folks who lost the Electoral College and seem to want the gigantic population areas of the East and West Coast to bulldoze the smaller states of the Union.

Well, let’s see.

The votes for President were cast on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, ten days ago.

Still, the votes from Michigan are still only unofficial. The counties have until November 22 to certify their results and a state Board has until November 28 to make the vote official.

Wouldn’t it be great if all the states were still out and we were counting minuscule numbers of votes to determine the winner?

Looking at several sources, it seems to be conventional wisdom that there are about 300,000 precincts in the United States.

Since all the hoopla is about the difference in about 947,000 votes, if there were only 4 Trump votes miscounted, not counted or considered to be questionable, the winner of the Electoral College would also have the popular vote advantage.

Any chance you think that your precinct could screw up 4 votes in their total?

Do you really think this is where we need to go?
