It won't matter unless a bunch of states turn out to have a miscount.

The USA voting system uses an electorial college so that more populous
states do not dominate to the point where the rest have no equal say.
If it were not that way, the Dakotas for example would have no say and
much of the middle country wouldnt either. It's not that uncommon for
the middle states to be the true swing of an election here.

In Virginia, Trump was winning too but then the city of Norfolk kicked
off big for Clinton and turned it. We were a swing-state with a
semi-large set going over the top Clinton while by area, we went
largely Trump.
