Have they finished counting all the votes yet?

It's very close and the lead switched at least once. We won't know who finally won the popular vote until the counting is done.

California has millions of votes remaining to be counted. Clinton won the popular vote, and probably by a million or two.

it's been getting larger, most of the votes coming in are from larger areas that on average in this election voted for Hillary and 99% of the vote is in (some ballots in some states like California could be counted up to 3 days after end of election if they were postmarked on the day of the election). It's highly unlikely that large pockets of Trump votes would be found to make up 300K+ gap now.

What's even crazier to me is trump has yet to pass Mitt Romney vote total. He didn't even beat the last republican candidate but won the election.

So... it is wrong and there are still more ballots being counted.
