Well, she did get more votes than Trump, but neither of them actually garnered a majority.
Clinton 47.2%
Trump 44.4%
Johnson 5%
The reason behind the court ruling is that there has been a push to get electors from both parties to go against their oaths to their states. It is a long shot movement that was hoping to garner votes from both Dem electors and Rep electors to install someone other than Trump (or Hillary for that matter).
The US is not a democracy but a constitutional republic. The popular vote does not always represent the will of the people. This is why we have the electoral college to represent the vote of the people on a more equal basis. Democracies operate on mob rule while our system is superior because it balances out the uneven distribution of people.
The democrats won the urban areas where there is a high density of voters who have different values from the more widely dispersed rural voters.
We must pray that God will preserve our republic and not allow for us to become a democracy.
Historically when our country was young only those who owned land could vote. Imagine how our policies would be shaped if only taxpayers could vote.

I'm not sure why there are discrepancies, but the New York Times gave it to her with 5 %.

It is up to each individual state to govern their electoral process. The vast majority of states force the electors to vote the way the general election went as far as the electoral votes are concerned. Since 1900 only 9 electors in the Electoral College have voted contrary to the candidate that their votes were pledged to. It would take an act of God for Hillary to win. Actually, it already took an act of God to have Trump win the general election as He appoints all those in positions of authority.
Each party chooses a slate of electors to vote in the electoral college. The party that wins the state, sends their electors to vote. Since the party selected the electors vote, this whole exercise is a joke.
