The US election map if 'not voting' was a candidate

Donald Trump will be sworn in as President of the United States on 20 January.

If lethargy were a candidate, then the US would be swearing no-one into the Oval Office instead.

If you were to count 'not voting' as a candidate, then it would win 42 states in the election, taking into account all eligible people of voting age.

Hillary Clinton would have won seven states and the District of Columbia, while Donald Trump would have won Iowa.
