CNN already did this and I wish they had posted this on their site. You can't count Florida and Michigan nor the caucus states that don't keep track of votes. That would actually put Obama ahead by 600,000. But people like you want to include the disallowed states.

Look, voters came out in record numbers. Clinton's and Obama's popular vote numbers are more of an estimate than actual electoral fact. The estimates are still nothing to sneeze about ---between 14 and 18 million people came out to vote for each candidate.

People, and especially the media, are throwing a really bad bone to Hillary Clinton by allowing her to parrot 18 million like it's a factual number when it is not. But saying it's an estimate doesn't sound so hot in a concession speech, doesn't it. It just doesn't sound ok to say that there's an estimated 18 million cracks in that glass ceiling.

Yet the truth is still the truth. The numbers are estimated, not factual. It's still an incredible number of people, but it's not the actual total tally.

You can parrot an estimate as if where a factual and total number. That doesn't make it any less of a lie.
