Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary's gap in PA just dropped by 23K [View all]
Charles Gaba ?@charles_gaba 1m1 minute agoEIGHTY. THOUSAND. PEOPLE. https://t.co/xtI0Eo2Dop
Hillary's gap in PA just dropped by 23K. She's now down by just 80K across WI/MI/PA.
Until now, the Pennsylvania vote gap was hovering around the 70,000 mark depending on your source. If this tweet is accurate, it just dropped to 46,435.
According to the Cook Report spreadsheet (which hasnt been updated with this yet...it was posted less than 20 minutes ago), heres where things stand:
WI: Hillary down 22,177
MI: Hillary down 10,704
PA: Hillary down 46,435
Total: 79,316
80,000 people.
Or, put another way: She just needed to flip the votes of 40,000 people in those 3 states.
40,000 people.

Ugh. It never should have been this close, even if the vote totals were flipped. Pathetic. nt

This is why we need to stop the nonsense of painting a whole state red or blue.

The majority in those states weren't going to vote for her no matter what she said. So don't

Or, put another way: Republicans needed to flip only 40,000 votes to steal the electoral college.

Since states are the ones running the election the electoral college provides some buffer....

There is so much disinformation on this, you'd think Russia is involved or something.
