Trump won the popular vote as well as the EV (at the time of this comment).

Clinton is projected to win the popular vote once all the ballots (especially those in California) are counted.
Many things have been projected this election cycle.
That's ... not a valid argument against a different point. It's 1:41 AM on the west coast and despite the NY Times clearly calling the election for Trump, Clinton still has a forecasted 1% lead in the popular vote. Given California is incredibly blue, this will most likely hold true.
Yes, I believe that the NYT are projecting the final outcome of the popular vote based on all those West Coast votes that are still being counted.
