Hillary Clinton carried California by 4 million votes. Trump carried the rest of the country by 2 million votes.

What does this mean to a Democratic Party that has promoted the "we won the popular vote" narrative since Trump's upset in the Electoral College? How would Americans react if they learned that eliminating the Electoral Collage would give Californians control of presidential elections?

Consider the following facts about the 2016 popular vote:

A bipartisan team of U.S. senators last week introduced legislation designed to identify and investigate anti-Semitic language and incidents on college campuses. Amid little debate, the Senate passed the measure by unanimous consent. If passed into law, the bill may drastically influence how American college campuses treat speech.

President-designate Donald Trump named his Secretary of Health and Human Services this week, picking Rep. Tom Price, a conservative Republican congressman from Georgia and a former practicing orthopedic surgeon of twenty years.

According to sources connected to the deal, the Independent Voter Network has confirmed Timken’s plans to build a $16 million factory in San Jose Iturbide, Guanajuato, Mexico ended Wednesday.

The factory was a planned 200,000 square-foot facility. Sources say the decision to cancel the factory is directly related to the president-elect’s talk of border tariffs that brought into question the business sense of building such a plant.

Last week, the Washington Post published an article titled, “Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say.” This recent claim regarding Russian propaganda and influence over this year’s US presidential election is only one in a slew of accusations against the Russians, both during and after the election cycle.

The next time you fill up your car or truck at the gas station in California, there’s a strong likelihood the gas was imported from Saudi Arabia.

For over a year, IVN has reported on Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's crusade against fraudulent voters -- including the twists, turns, court rejections, and outright lack of evidence his investigations have produced.

For hundreds of years, women around the world have fought for equality, for the right to be recognized as valuable and productive members of society, and for the opportunity to grow and be independent without needing a male figure by their side.

In America, we saw the legal fight begin with the right to vote. Women have continued to fight to gain equal rights. In the last decade, we have seen the fight focus on ending violence against women and empowering young girls to believe they can fill the same roles as boys do.

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is now beating President-elect Donald Trump in the popular vote by more than 2 million votes. This is by far the biggest deficit in popular votes by a winning candidate in the history of the country.

But the discrepancy between electoral and popular votes shouldn’t make us question the legitimacy of the election -- the Electoral College is the law of the land. In the words of president-elect Donald Trump, abolishing the Electoral College would make for a “whole different campaign.”

Oh to be a fly on the wall in the halls of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) after Donald Trump was elected President of the United States.

In that moment, the oil ministers from 14 nations all but knew their stranglehold over the world’s petroleum industry was slipping through their fingers. A tough talking, no nonsense president-elect was a 180-degree change from the current U.S. administration. And they knew it.
