55 000 000 Americans voted for Donald Trump over Hilary Clinton.

Almost 61 million voted for Romney.

The turnout this year may have fooled everyone.

I think the early voting is skewing things. There is a fraction of Americans that are excited to vote and go for it early. That apparently has masked a general apathy that exists in the rest of the population.
