America has a total of 50 states, and together they have 538 electoral votes.
To win the election, a candidate must receive at least 270 votes, a crucial number.
By a little after eight o'clock, when half of the votes had been counted, Clinton had already secured 235 electoral votes.
In contrast, his opponent, Old George, had only garnered 28 votes.
If the Republican Party wanted to overtake the Democratic Party, it would mean Old George needed to win nearly all the remaining electoral votes.
That was clearly unlikely, as the states whose votes had not been counted were mainly in the West.
This included California, which has the largest population and, correspondingly, the most electoral votes—a total of 54.
So now, guess who California is supporting? Just look at Dean and Baram in the conference room, and you'll know.
Silicon Valley is in California, and they had already issued a public statement in support back in October.
