I was thinking about the relationship between turnout and margin of victory. The 11 states where the margin was less than 5% are marked. The five states with the highest turnout were among the most competitive (naturally) and Hawaii has by far the lowest turnout (once again not a big surprise as the victor is already known).

But Arizona and Nevada have below average turnout despite being very competitive states.

PA, FL, and MI could have higher turnout considering how important they were to Trump's victory.

Interesting that MN had the highest turnout.

Donald's strength in the rust belt is the reason we are stuck with him for four years, but he couldn't pull off the upset in MN as he did in WI and MI.

If I remember correctly, he was in MN shortly before election day and said horrible lies about their Somali refugee community, which pissed off everyone and is probably why he lost the state.

MN went for Mondale so I doubt telling the inconvenient truth about refugees made a difference.

Moreover, a lot of that money winds up in Trump companies. Tell me again how much time Obama wasted golfing, or how corrupt Clinton is. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER

It's funny. Prior to the inauguration, Evenbob was complaining about the $90 million or so Obama spent over 8 years and I warned him that it would come back to bite him in the butt. Little did I know just how quickly it would happen!

If you care to post the "lies" you claim then I will elaborate. I doubt you will as you never do.

Not a cultural fit, costing tens of thousands of dollars each, harassment and rape of women, you know, the usual stuff the left calls "lies."

I find liberals love refugees as long as they are not living in their neighborhoods.
