The election was close. Several states had margins of victory of right around 1%. I didn't look too closely but less than 500,000 votes is enough to flip the winner in a couple of states and swing the whole election. Considering you've got ~ 120 million votes that seems pretty close to me.

Edit: Looks like 147,029 votes is enough to flip Wisconsin and Florida and give Clinton the Electoral College.
