Electoral Math: Hillary May Have Won After All!

                So Hillary supporters got quite a shock yesterday, not so much because she lost an election in which she had widely been considered to be a shoo-in, but because all the many polls and indicators which showed that she would almost certainly win turned out to be quite completely wrong.  Or were they?

The Push for the Big 6-0!

                Tomorrow (okay, today!  I had hoped to publish this before midnight but missed by 12 minutes) is what has been arguably described in most circles as the most important presidential election in our lifetime.  For the Hillary supporters, it’s a clear choice between the superior competence of a highly intelligent candidate with 30 years of public service experience versus the total incompetence, total lack of government experience, downright awful ignorance, dangerous policy positions, and bigotry of her opponent.  To the Trump supporters, it is a very clear choice between a totally maverick outsider whom they totally trust to fix everything that’s wrong with the country or continuing with the corruption, lies, and special interests that they so strongly believe characterize the Clinton candidacy.  Despite this historically wide divide and the fact that the two candidates could not be further apart, there are still (unbelievably in my opinion) the undecided voters, and there are enough of them that they hold the potential for swinging the election either way.
