Cool lie, dude! These numbers are all at least slightly off. In Michigan, Trump won by 11,612, and Stein got 50,700. In Wisconsin, Trump won by 27,257, and Stein got 30,980. Most importantly, in Pennsylvania, Trump won by 68,735, while Stein only got 48,912, meaning even if every Stein voter in this graphic went to Clinton, Clinton still would have lost not only Pennsylvania, but also the Electoral College, with the final total being 280 to 258.
Given that this is at least the second time this user has been caught spreading disinformation through fake infographics, we should all be more skeptical of their posts. They clearly either don't know or don't care about reality.
See how that says "99.8% reporting"? If you look at the NYT, it shows the results after counting 100% of the votes, and it matches what's in the picture.
Fair enough, you are correct. Still bullshit to think that all of those voter would automatically go to clinton, but I will delete the bad information.
This should be top comment.
Honestly, the post should be removed. Misinformation is a violation of Rule 2. Given that the user keeps doing it, a temporary ban is probably in order too, but that's the moderators' call.
By your standard, your posts here should be removed for misinformation because your numbers don't include all of the election votes. Here are the final results of the 2016 elections by state, with citations. The numbers are consistent with the infographic.
Yeah, that's why I did that.
Thanks for the retraction. It was the honest thing to do.
It's incorrect. Look at the NYT. The difference is that Politico's numbers weren't updated after the final votes were counted.
