There’s 137 million, the number of votes cast — an increase of 8 million over 2012 and the most votes cast in a presidential race in history. That’s 0.02 percent of all votes cast that made the difference — a tiny amount. Did Clinton lose because more Trump voters turned out, energized by something they read in a Facebook post? Or did Clinton lose because Clinton voters stayed home, turned off by something they read about her on Twitter? (Meaning that the vote totals and populations of all Trump and Clinton counties are tallied together — so: 2,000,200 people in the prior example.)
