Snopes says I'm wrong and even absentee votes are eventually counted, sorry for the misinfo: http://www.snopes.com/2016/11/13/who-won-the-popular-vote/

We have a first-past-the-post system in which only the top two candidates are viable, so 5.7% of the voters didn't prioritize keeping Trump out of office. If we set the bar at "I think this is the best qualified person on Earth for this office" every elected official has only had a small minority. If we set the bar at "of these two, this one is better" Hillary only won by 2% along with a lot of "don't care".

That's a lot of handwaving and speculation about what was going on in the voters' minds. I'm going to Occam's Razor this and say that ~54% of voters voted for Not Donald Trump.
