What I have learned about the election on DU

27. The majority of college educated whites voted for Romney and McCain.

And now for Trump. They stick with R's no matter how bad they are.

You can spin it any way you like, but 11 days before the election she was 9 points ahead of Trump in the polls. Then Comey dropped the first of his letter bombs and her support plunged to 2 points ahead. That's why she lost the Electoral College. But she has 2,600,000 more votes than he did -- even though the Courts decimated the voting rights act in 2013, allowing millions of Democratic votes to be suppressed.

We’ll likely never know how many people were kept from the polls by restrictions like voter-ID laws, cuts to early voting, and barriers to voter registration. But at the very least this should have been a question that many more people were looking into. For example, 27,000 votes currently separate Trump and Clinton in Wisconsin, where 300,000 registered voters, according to a federal court, lacked strict forms of voter ID. Voter turnout in Wisconsin was at its lowest levels in 20 years and decreased 13 percent in Milwaukee, where 70 percent of the state’s African-American population lives, according to Daniel Nichanian of the University of Chicago.

I documented stories of voters in Wisconsin—including a 99-year-old man—who made two trips to the polls and one to the DMV on Election Day just to be able to vote, while others decided not to vote at all because they were denied IDs. When Margie Mueller, an 85-year-old woman from Plymouth, Wisconsin, wasn’t allowed to vote with her expired driver’s license, her husband, Alvin, decided not to vote either. They were both Democrats. “The damn Republicans,” he said, “don’t want Latinos and old people to vote.”
