There’s been a lot of talk online over the last day about mysterious results in these two states, and whether the election could have been hacked. But when you look at the actual data, there’s no indication there was fraud — in fact, Trump’s victories follow patterns seen across the country, regardless of the type of ballot.
Two weeks after the shock of Donald Trump’s victory wore off and reality set in, some are alleging that the voting in key Midwestern swing states was somehow “hacked.” These people contend this may be the real reason three states that have voted Democratic over the last seven to eight presidential cycles (Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan) narrowly flipped to Donald Trump in 2016.
But Trump really won, and he won in exactly the way you would have expected him to win if he was going to win at all. The results mirror patterns seen across these states, regardless of their type of ballot, and across the country with respect to class and formal education.
The DecisionDeskHQ is a nonpartisan group of elections analysts and volunteers whose job is to tabulate votes on election day and project winners in real time, providing an alternative to the Associated Press. We partnered with BuzzFeed on its election-night coverage and are experts in both the recent and historical voting trends of swing states. We have dealt with this sort of data on a near-daily basis for over four years now.
We will now explain in detail how Trump’s victories in two key states — Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — not only suggest no evidence of fraud, but in fact track with national trends in every conceivable way. Buckle up.

Left talking about hacking the election. Haha.
Even though Decisions Desk made a hash of this election-from the primaries through the general election-this is a fair analysis.
the desperation of the left is very comical and so so typical left wing mentality. I want money that I have not earned so give me yours, I want an election that I did not win so give me your win...
So, so, typical left wing whining and entitlement mentality...
Short anser: because he wasn’t Hillary Clinton.
The real fraud happened in NH.
Machines weren’t hacked. If anything it was piles of fake paper ballots. Or neither.
Trump won the coal states because Hillary flat out said she was going to take jobs away from coal miners. She lost Michigan because Trump promised manufacturing jobs and the Democrats can’t even keep the water clean in Flint.
I’m inclined to agree. Even though I live in a very - very - liberal part of NH, the Trump signs outnumbered the Clinton signs and people that I know that are die-hard Democrats were talking about how they couldn’t vote for Clinton, were aware of her criminal misdeeds and so on.
We always have a problem with people coming over the border from MA and VT and messing with our elections. We are becoming North Massachusetts.
I’d like to believe NH has not been completely lost.
However, Kelly Ayotte did lose her senate seat to the sitting democrat governor.
Don’t feel sorry for her because she never stepped up to support Trump, even after his gracious endorsement.
BTW, a fellow Freeper pointed out to me a while back that NH has become infested with Massachusetts liberals who have managed to transform NH into an essential suburb of MA.
Great article.
Nice. Very thorough...
There were 5 cars with MA plates parked at my polling place on November 8.
Voter ID did a lot to help Trump’s victory in Wisconsin.
Didn't a Republican win the governor's race in NH (Sununu)? If so, maybe something will be done about that situation.
What I heard described on WRKO is almost beyond belief, that out-of-state people come into NH, claim they plan to become NH residents within 30 days, sign some paper and then are allowed to vote.
Also, that the legislature had passed a bill to end the practice, but the Dem governor vetoed it. So, maybe it will be passed again and signed with a Republican governor and that legalized vote fraud will be ended.

Better known as the Will Pittstains.
Yes, and a poster earlier pointed out that Trump got the votes where he needed them. If you take out CA, Trump won by 1.25 million votes nationwide. The working middle class came out for him, because reigning in illegal immigration and challenging bad trade agreements is music to their ears.
That is the message I got from facebook and other places. Pretty much liberals, who incidentally love the Obamas, conceded that Hillary was repulsive, but would vote for her was simply an anti-Trump vote. I wonder how many of them sat home election day?
... and with lower cost (no sales-tax) shopping.
Oregon has no sales tax either but they do have a 10% personal income tax.
