As it stands right now, Democrats hoping to make themselves feel better and delegitimize the Trump victory are taking solace in the apparent likelihood that Hillary managed to eek out a slight margin in the popular vote. The totals are not final, but as it stands right now, Hillary has 59,623,049 popular votes to Trump's 59,418,103. I guess that might serve as a moral salve for the wound of Trump's likely 300-plus electoral vote total.
But does the popular vote mean, as Democrats surely want it to, that Trump's win is in any way less than 100 percent legitimate?
