I saw yesterday around 10 post claiming trump won the popular vote and everybody that said otherwise was lying. Today I saw a news article saying how the website where that fake news originated from is a conspiracy blog less than 2 months old run by one person. That was the "news" organization that said Trump won the popular vote.
