Why I think Trump won the rust belt in spite of being the terrible person he is

13. I was responding to your post that also contained little substantiation

As to the claims - you can look at at any poll aggregation site and you will see that the % HRC got in each of the three states was better or equal to where she was in the late polls in all three states. The posts on some of the people on the ground seeing trouble in Michigan and Wisconsin were posted all over DU in the last two months.

Note that many of your claims are speculation. There is plenty of evidence that nationwide the Republicans have worked to make it harder to vote. This has affected elections since at least 2000 - and likely before that. This is something we should have addressed as soon as Obama was in. (Congress has committees and can do multiple things at the same time.) As it was, the Supreme Court made it worse.

I wanted Clinton to win even though there are candidates in other years I was more excited about that her. I think that the Comey stuff likely was a big factor. As to the polling, the NATIONAL polls at the very end showed that while she had been in the high single digits ahead when the first letter came out, she was only 2 to 3 points ahead in the last batch of polls. As bad as polling is, nationally this is pretty close to exactly how far ahead she was in the popular vote. Your post was based on all the polls being wrong - which is why I pointed out that the polls in those three states showed a lot of people still undecided.
