"Hillary won the popular vote by 3M! Are we not going to let the 20 million illegals and the dead be heard?"
Still waiting for the trump commission on election fraud to name the names. When will that be out?
Of all the shit to fret about, it boggles my mind how people continuously beat this drum.
Here's NY CD-9, Majority African American, but also encapsulates the Libby Coastie haven of Park Slope (Amanda Marcotte, and many other Media/Journo Libbies live there) and many parts of Hipsterfied Brooklyn.
The Left is after redistricting, the earlier years are when more parts of working class white Queens was included. Notice the huge margin difference in the vote totals.
What difference does it now make if CD-9 has 25% more Democrat Turnout? It can only elect one Congressional Representative. Whether CD-9 has 30% higher turnout or 30% lower turnout, the result will be the same.
Turnout does matter - but it matters in battleground "purple" states/districts where the margin of victory was a few percentage points for Congress,Senators, and the President.
It doesn't matter if more libbies in NY, DC, or SF come out and vote. It matters how the Maine Senate vote goes. How the Montana Senate Race goes.
Places like Nevada CD-4 goes or NH CD-1. The latter has picked the winning President in all 4 races so far this century by a margin of 3% or less. That's where turnout matters.
Finally, Park Slope reminded me of Duke Lacrosse Primary Blogger Prosecutor and Salon Writer Amanda Marcotte. Here's her vomitorius take on Kavanaugh:
