Many people cited her "emails" as a reason not to vote for her, but I heard few elaborations about why exactly they did so. I understand the argument about her mishandled of classified info, could've endangered national security, very stupid and careless. But it was chalked up to, essentially, the fact that she was tech illiterate (older generation), didn't know how email systems worked.
On the Podesta email hack and leaks, what can anybody name specifically from those emails that was damaging in any way? I never saw reporting on the content of the hack, few Americans knew/know what are in them, and tbh idk what's in them but I'd bet they're mostly innocuous behind-the-scenes stuff (what you would expect from the emails of a campaign chairman).
I heard the perception of her "mishandling classified information" in a way that supposudly was extremely dangerous to national security. I suspect the e-mails had such an impact because the media kept reporting it as if it were this huge scandal for the juicy views, and I guess cable news drama about emails (and the perception of "dishonesty" they gave to voters) stick better to an ambitious senior woman then a storm of random stories about sexual violation, fraud, incompetence, violence, etc to an old sleazebag who talks like a salesman(or a bunch of rabid R+9001 district reps frothing about Benghazi).
