List of United States presidential elections by popular vote margin
In United States presidential elections, the national popular vote is the sum of all votes cast in every state and the District of Columbia.
The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides the procedure by which the President and Vice Presidentare elected, which is through the Electoral College, so the national popular vote does not determine the outcome of the United States presidential election.
