Barring
a late rebound in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton
appears unlikely to get 270 electoral college votes to become
president.
But, like Al Gore, she may be on track to still earn more votes across the country.
Here's why.
The states with the most vote still left to count are primarily those on the West Coast, with notoriously slow-counting California chief among them. As of 10:20 p.m. Pacific Time, Trump's popular-vote lead over Clinton was just over 1.3 million votes.
But less than a third of California's precincts have reported so far. Only 10% of precincts in Los Angeles County are in.
In 2012, President Obama netted more than 3 million popular votes out of California. Should Clinton end up with a similar tally, or even shy of that, she could still end up topping Trump in the popular vote.
