Of the nearly 700 counties that twice sent Obama to the White House, a stunning one-third flipped to support Trump.
By contrast, of those 2,200 counties that never supported Obama, Clinton was only able to win six. Thats just 0.3 percent crossover to the Democratic side.
Clinton had more opportunities to peel counties from the Republicans. Historically, Democrats rely on few (but very populous) counties to chart a path to victory. Republicans, by contrast, draw support from a wide swath of many more rural and suburban counties.

Voter Id nationwide- possible? Could Trump’s new Justice Dept. clean up and standardize voting across the country, or is that a state issue?
I want to know if any ‘Dreamers’ voted - we have data on 300’000 of them
It is a state issue. But there is a way around it: Issue an executive order that authorizes reimbursement of the states for the ‘costs’ associated with implementation of voter ID laws.
The Voter
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious survey of depressing polls
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a yapping,
As of someone gently snapping, snapping at deplorables.
Tis some journalist, I muttered, snapping at deplorables
Only this and nothing more.
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak November;
And each freedoms dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrowsorrow for the lost Deplore
For the rare and radiant free man whom the devils name Deplore
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken, sad, but certain falling of each blue state’s curtain
Thrilled mefilled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
Tis brute AFT entreating entrance at my chamber door
Some late AFT entreating entrance at my chamber door;
This is it, then nothing more.
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
Sir, said I, or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came yapping,
And so faintly you came snapping, snapping at those you deplore,
That I scarce was sure I heard youhere I opened wide the door;
Darkness there and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, Deplore?
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, Deplore!
Merely this and nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a yapping somewhat louder than before.
Surely, said I, surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this sad news explore
Let my heart be still a moment and this sad news explore;
One more loss, then nothing more!
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with almost a march and swagger,
In there stepped a stately Voter of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, pushed aside my chamber door
Stood where once a bust of Churchill stood beside my chamber door
Stood, looked stern, and nothing more.
Then this stately one beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance he wore,
Though thy face be shorn and shaven, thou, I said, art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and angry Voter wandering from free shore to shore
Tell me that my sneering name is one that Hillary will deplore!
Quoth the Voter Nevermore.
Much I marvelled this so stately one to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaninglittle relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing voter by his chamber door
A free man where once a sculptured bust framed his chamber door,
Use such name as Nevermore.
But the Voter, standing lonely in place of bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing farther then he utterednot a finger then he fluttered
Till I scarcely more than muttered Other states have lost before
On the morrow Trump will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.
Quoth the Voter Nevermore.
Not enough dead where able to be roused to make up for the avalanche of Trump supporters.
He won outside the margin of fraud.
“Voter Id nationwide- possible? Could Trumps new Justice Dept. clean up and standardize voting across the country, or is that a state issue.”
I would propose one of two things. The first is voter ID. The second is change the election so that voting is by county and not state. Whoever wins the most counties in the state takes the electoral votes. This way if Chicago wants to vote with dead people and LA wants to vote with illegals, it is only one county so there is a firewall to stop rampant fraud.
Plus, if you go by county, no one is disenfranchised. You don’t even need voter ID. I know, probably impossible except we have 2/3 the governors, we are very close in congress to 2/3 which means you throw it right into the rats hands to tell America that it is they who disenfranchise voters.
There should be no complaints, we will offer FREE Voter ID + FREE UBER ride to get ID
We'll let Billionaires help pay for the FREE Voter ID's & UBER rides
Plus a Special 800 # for anyone having difficulty getting the ID's, they'll get extra help on getting their ID's
I like that voting by county idea, if we had it California would still be a Conservative state in national elections.
