If Hillary had convinced the right 200K people to vote her way (22K in MI, 56K in WI, and 116K in PA) we’d be talking about her winning those states by Trump’s margin.

Of course the Dems would still be crowing about their meaningless margins in CA and NY.

They count to make sure to discard the military absentee votes or convert them to Democrat. This time they might not bother, since it isn’t worth it.

Of course, in Dem states, they count the votes, don’t they?

So many Democrats overturned their own votes for Trum, that it would have taken a strategic adjustment on the part of OFA and other orgs that focused on cities. Because obviously, if a state’s electoral vote goes entirely for whomever wins the most precincts or popular vote in a state, then by controlling a few key cities in that state, one can obtain all the electoral votes. But that was only for states that didn’t reliably vote Democrat. This time, they needed to cover the entire board in Go, not just a few key places. Since HRC was distracted by smashing Sanders, and many of the get out the vote volunteers were Sander loyalists, that most likely threw a wench into the Left’s efforts. Nothing like the effort they put for Hussein, their Messiah King.

It also costs ACORN less to Get out the Vote, and more of that money can be money laundered through Planned Profit or other Leftist grassroots insurgencies and Gramsci marchers.

1. Absentee ballots generally break 2-to-1 for Republicans nationwide (i.e., “in most states” …even Dem leaning states …because: didn’t say, but I’m guessing “old folk” lol).

2. Absentee ballots aren’t generally counted UNLESS the Electoral vote appears unusually close (as TommyJay mentioned above).

3. At this point, CA alone has 4½M uncounted absentee ballots (per rule 1, which would likely add 1½M to Hil’s 1½M “lead”, for 3M total nationally …but would give Trump 3M …so Trump “tied/too close to call” in the popular …at which point multiply Rule 1 by all the state’s that don’t tally absentee ballots, yada-yada …and it don’t change a damn thing, because his EC vote is now – Michigan reporting today – 306.)

So TommyJames FTW.

I didn’t know this. I’m not googling it to confirm. Neo’s better at this sort of research than me, anyways lol.

DISCLAIMER: I suck at math. So, YMMV even if the above is true.

Oh yeah: and a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

(the actual numbers are out of date, but the thesis point stands)

“In recent decades, the Electoral College has served to solidify the political credibility of presidents who were elected with less than 50% of the popular vote, including John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton (in both of his elections). It is by no means an institution structurally biased against Democrats.

But Democrats are now pushing variously to abolish the Electoral College, and even to circumvent its purpose right now, for this election, by pressuring the electors to contravene their states’ popular votes, so as to prevent Trump from getting the more-than-sufficient 290 electoral votes he is already assured by the current vote count.

In that context, it is very interesting to look at the 2016 vote through the prism of how it is distributed.
…
Quite a few commentators have pointed out, as the Wall Street Journal did on Tuesday, that California alone accounts for Hillary’s entire lead in the popular vote.

And that’s true. But it doesn’t go far enough.

Los Angeles County alone accounts for Hillary’s lead in the popular vote.
…
If we removed the LA County vote from both candidates in the national total, and left the rest of the California vote in place, Trump would lead Hillary right now nationally, with 60,001,544 to her 59,723,194.

That’s about as regionally specialized as narrow majorities get. “
