It's a little late for that concern. Those things (voter ID, congressional district maps, voting times/days/etc.) are all state and local issues - not federal. | ||

Here, Nate Silver said it better than I did: "The national exit poll shows Trump making bigger gains among black and Hispanic voters than among whites. But I’d urge at least a little caution. I know that exit polls aren’t supposed to be used for projecting results, but they did an awfully bad job tonight, initially showing what had looked like a near-landslide margin for Clinton. Furthermore, as compared with pre-election polls, Trump clearly overperformed the most in whiter states. So on second thought, maybe that’s a lot of caution and not just a little." Caution is fine. I'm just weighing this against the repeated predictions that Trump purportedly being such a racist would hand hispanics over to Clinton and drive hispanic turnout. His talks on policing and the prison system would drive blacks in Obama-like numbers. It shouldn't even be close. Look at any journalist in big national papers. | ||

They single handedly awarded the election to Trump. | ||

He would have been hammered for socialism and for being a hippie who supported dictators, but in contrast to Hillary fewer people would have such a strong visceral reaction to voting against him. I am quite sure he would have won. | ||
