Election factoids

[vote for pedro]

It's a mistake to say Clinton's PV margin was due to California. Everyone from Texas to Tennessee to North Dakota who voted Clinton contributed equally to it. Hence to single out any one state is wrong.

The mistake is piling up all your votes in one state.  Running up a 4.3 million vote margin in one state while losing the others by 1.5 million votes is going to lose the election.

Yes. The Clinton campaign is responsible for moving 4 million voters out of the Rust Belt and into California.

Fewer men in West Virginia voted for Clinton than any Democratic candidate since 1892.

If you take the ranking of states by unemployment rate,

Clinton and Trump tied in the first, second, fourth, and fifth quintiles. It was in the middle quintile that Trump built his lead.
