NOTE: Obama won by 4.2 million popular votes possibly because 92.8 million eligible voters DID NOT VOTE!

So, if American voters numbered 100, 58 of them would not vote. That leaves 21 votes for each of the candidates. The candidate who gets 22 votes wins even though 78 voters did not vote for him!

That’s what happens when citizens do not bother to register AND vote.
