- DrScump 10y agoThe exact quote through at least the 16th, as pointed out on HN at the time: "Popular vote For Clinton 50.4% ... For Trump 49.6%" Check the Wayback Machine for this page: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/16/us/politics/100000004770186.mobile.html http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/16/us/politics/10... Then look at its accurate rewording now.
- comex 10y agoI see. The earliest copy of that page on the Wayback Machine includes the label about only counting Clinton and Trump, but I'll take your word for it that it was originally missing. It seems like a pretty minor error given that it was a small part of an article primarily focused on comparing the counties won by Clinton and Trump, and was apparently promptly corrected, but eh. (And of course their main election results page has the right numbers.)
