The founders had inspired genius. (most would argue divinely inspired
genius)
If I had to guess, There were probably 2 million votes in LA county that
were not legal votes (illegal alien, double votes, etc) Take those
away and maybe DJT won LA county. Wouldn't that be a trip!

This is an interesting map that shows geographic distribution of the
vote winners by county:

The article with it is somewhat interesting but seems to have a bit of
bias:
http://metrocosm.com/election-2016-map-3d/
I saw a comment from someone that said if the blue areas prevailed it
would be sorta like a "Hunger Games" kind of situation where the elite
metro areas basically controlled the rest of the country, the
residents of whom would basically have no say in the matter if not for
the electoral college arrangement.
The article says:
As with most maps that represent information using color, red/blue
election maps are great for communicating categorical data (in this
case, /which candidate won county X?/). But they don’t do a very good
job conveying magnitude <http://metrocosm.com/category/cartograms/>
(/how important is county X compared to other counties?/).
For example, *L.A. County
<http://metrocosm.com/how-many-u-s-cities-can-you-fit-inside-tokyo/>*
alone has a population of over *10 million*. That’s more than the
combined population of 10 entire states. *Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota,
Vermont,* and *Wyoming* together have a total population of just over
*9 million*?
Which says that LA County could basically be the key to a Clinton
"win" since the margin is like 1.5M votes at this point, and I think
her margin was larger than that in LA County? And LA County would
basically negate the votes of 10 states that comprise a very large
geographic area though low-density.
