There is a glaring lie in this story that makes me suspicious of the entire piece.
In Ohio, absentee ballots are NOT MARKED WITH PARTY AFFILIATION. There is NO WAY to tell if a ballot is from a Democrat or Republican. The comment about the number of “Republican” ballots received is a lie.

Doesn’t Clintoon remind you of Kim Jong Il whose sycophants claimed he made 11 holes-in-one in one golf game?

He believes her own BS and demands they tell her things like her 30 person turnouts are giving her leads in the polls.

Unlike other states, Ohio does not register a person’s party affiliation when they vote early (but does record which primary they voted in last time.)

McDonald conducted a geographic analysis of the early voting results instead, and he found that mail early ballot requests are down in Democratic strongholds but up elsewhere, which bodes well for Trump.

Republicans restricted the number of early voting days in Ohio, leading to a massive drop overall since 2012, said CNN, and “Democrats have a slight lead in the early balloting, but their lead is smaller than in 2012.” Obama won Ohio by about 3 points in 2012.

Polling trends show the race in the margin for error in Ohio.

Trump leads by an average 1.1 percent in Ohio polling averages.

MN CD8 is the Arrowhead region of MN, i.e. the Duluth region. It has historically been a labor union dominated area. Lots of mining and longshoreman live up there.

Socially conservative, yet DFL loyal, it is now trending GOP. The environmental lobby now dominates the Democrats in MN, causing the voters in CD8 to be dismissed and ignored by the Dems. This is much like what is happening n West Virginia. Recently our idiot governor vetoed a bill that had passed the GOP controlled House and the DFL controlled Senate (the Dems from the Iron Range in CD8 voted for the bill) which allowed new mining of copper and nickel in the arrowhead region. It would have opened up numerous jobs in an area that is job-poor and in a depression. Gov. Dayton is owned by the enviromentalists. The populace is uprising against their Dimwit Dems.

Six years ago they ousted long-term congressman Jim Oberstar as a protest. Now the current Dem Rep. Rick Nolan is in danger of losing his seat to Steward Mills.

Minnesota isn’t really the story here. If Trump can beat Clinton in a heavily Democratic district like MN-8, then he may be attracting enormous numbers of cross-over votes among white Democrats in other battleground states.

Hillary has endorsed several tax increases on middle income Americans, despite her pledge not to raise taxes on any American making less than $250,000. She has said she would be fine with a payroll tax hike on all Americans, she has endorsed a steep soda tax, endorsed a 25% national gun tax, and most recently, her campaign manager John Podesta said she would be open to a carbon tax.
