While technically true the difference between 49.8 and 50.01 is quite small and not very interesting. I think the major point was probably that a lot of US citizens don't vote.

Why would it be surprising enough to need verification? There was more than 2 candidates and the US presidential election is always very close.

archive it, quick! Can't have that data around contradicting the landslide and all :)
