Yesterday, David Wasserman for Cook Political Report, wrote an article entitled "Demographic Change Since 2016 Alone Could Be Enough to Defeat Trump," the first paragraph of which was,
Four years ago, Donald Trump won the White House while losing the popular vote by 2.9 million to Hillary Clinton, thanks to a near-perfect geographic vote distribution that allowed him to win big Electoral College prizes by razor-thin margins. The key? Trump's unprecedented 37-point margin among white voters without four-year college degrees, who are especially influential in the Upper Midwest. (emphasis added)
"near perfect": Pretty hard to me "near perfect" (although I try), no? Strains credulity. And near perfect not by one guy but a "near-perfect geographic vote distribution" of 77,444 guys (and gal-guys, but mostly guy-guys) out of 128,838,342. Knowing just where to "distribute" those votes. In 2016, 77,444 was Trump's combined margin of victory in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, and with it his margin of victory in the Electoral College.
If the Russians could do that in 2016 they can damn well manipulate double or triple or? in 2020 with the experience and when they have gone dark. The key is "near-perfect geographic vote distribution" and they will be toasting their tool in the Duma again.
