Don’t forget trump’s base: angry white men with less than a high-school education.

To the extent that you can call it logic, here’s what Sanders (and Trump) means:
Even though the popular vote count shows Clinton got 2.8M more votes, we don’t count California, because it’s like a whole different country, or anyway … reasons. Once you take out those unamerican Californians, Trump actually had 1.4M more votes.
Lest you think I made this up just to poke fun at their Queeg-like, metal balls grinding, geometric logic:

What the hell use is she to Trump if she can’t even pull off the simplest of lies?

To justify his attendance at a campaign rally the day of the Pittsburg shooting Trump claimed that the NY Stock Exchange opened a day after the 9/11attack to maintain normalcy and not give in to evil, too, but that didn’t make it true. Lying thru their teeth is the new normal.

My thoughts exactly - if he won a majority of the 63 million, were the rest of his votes the result of fraud?

She doesn’t consider many of Hillary’s voters to be American. This is picking up on Trump’s claim that Hillary’s voters weren’t citizens but voted illegally. Apparently they’re still sticking with that lie.

numbers matter …
The average size of a congressional district based on the 2010 Census apportionment population is roughly 711,000
A 2004 survey by the United States Election Assistance Commission reported an average voting precinct size in the United States of approximately 1,100 registered voters - doing the math then says that the “average” congressional district with 711,000 voters would have 646 precincts
Voter turnout in the United States fluctuates in national elections. In recent elections, about 60% of the voting eligible population votes during presidential election years, and about 40% votes during midterm elections.
So if a typical congressional district has 40% turnout that would be 284,400 ballots cast or roughly 440 per precinct.
A 50-50 split would be 142,200 / 142,200 … 220 /220 per precinct
A 2% victory margin - 51% to 49% would be 145,044 to 139,356 ( basically 225 to 215 at the precinct level – but it could be 224 – 216) - a margin of 5,688 in the total district or about 8.8 votes per precinct
In close contests – a 4 to 5 vote per precinct flip would be able to completely reverse a 2% lead
