Clinton's popular vote lead over Trump now exceeds 1.5 million votes

It's been nearly two weeks since the November 8 general election, but the results have not remained static as ballots continue to be counted.

While the number of votes for both president-elect Donald Trump and his former Democratic rival Hillary Clinton continue to increase, the gap is widening, with Clinton expanding her popular vote lead over Trump.

According to new figures released by The Associated Press on Saturday, Clinton received more than 1.5 million votes more than her Republican rival.

As of Saturday, Clinton had received 63,390,669 votes, while Trump received 61,820,845 votes -- a difference of 1,569,824, according to The AP.

I don't accept this can't be changed. We are too dumbass lazy if we accept that. There is too much history to prove that wrong. The US revolution. Civil rights. Viet Nam. And hell yes, the Civil War.

It was rigged against her, but we the people did not abandon her. I am proud of the protestors and I'm doing what I can from here.
