<P> When the Electoral College cast its votes on December 19, 2016, Trump received 304 votes to Clinton's 227 with seven electors defecting to other choices, the most faithless electors (2 from Trump, 5 from Clinton) in any presidential election in over a hundred years . Clinton had nonetheless received almost three million more votes (65,853,516 to 62,984,825) in the general election than Trump, giving Clinton a popular vote lead of 2.1% over Trump . </P> <P> After the election, Trump claimed that he "won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally". This claim was judged untrue by multiple fact - checkers . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="14"> Democratic - Republican DR Democratic D Republican R </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Election </Th> <Th_colspan="3"> Winner and party </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Electoral College </Th> <Th_colspan="4"> Popular vote </Th> <Th_colspan="3"> Runner - up and party </Th> <Th> Turnout </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Th_colspan="3"> </Th> <Th> Votes </Th> <Th>% </Th> <Th> Votes </Th> <Th> Margin </Th> <Th>% </Th> <Th> Margin </Th> <Th_colspan="3"> </Th> <Th>% </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1824 </Td> <Td> Adams, John Quincy Adams </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> DR </Td> <Td> 84 / 261 </Td> <Td> 32.18% </Td> <Td> 113,122 </Td> <Td> − 38,149 </Td> <Td> 30.92% </Td> <Td> − 10.44% </Td> <Td> Jackson, Andrew Jackson </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> DR </Td> <Td> 26.90% </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1876 </Td> <Td> Hayes, Rutherford B.
