Election
These former Obama strongholds sealed the election for Trump
By Kevin Uhrmacher, Kevin Schaul and Dan Keating
Nov. 9, 2016
Donald Trump delivered on his promise to flip the Democrats’ electoral hold on the industrial Midwest.
Across swing states — and others previously thought to be safe for Democrats — Trump colored dozens of counties red that hadn’t gone Republican in decades.
[ How Donald Trump broke the old rules of politics — and won the White House]
Of the nearly 700 counties that twice sent Obama to the White House, a stunning one-third flipped to support Trump.
Trump also won 194 of the 207 counties that voted for Obama either in 2008 or 2012.
By contrast, of those 2,200 counties that never supported Obama, Clinton was only able to win six. That’s 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.
Despite having a smaller field of possible counties to win over, Trump did just that, delivering electoral votes in the Upper Midwest states, as well as in Florida and North Carolina.
[ Election maps are telling you big lies about small things]
Trump secured several Obama counties in upstate New York, though it wasn’t enough to win the state. He also won over counties in Maine’s rural congressional 2nd District, securing a GOP electoral vote in New England for the first time since 2000.

Based on your post those meds aren't working....
Au contraire -- I'm alive, my inspirometer reading is up over 100% of pretreatment number, oximeter reading up by 10 points, excema and rashes have disappeared and my appetite has returned. How's your day going?

Russians targeted election systems in 21 states, but didn't change any results, officials say
Hackers backed by the Russian government targeted voting systems in 21 states last year in an effort to undermine confidence in the principle of free and fair elections, U.S. security officials testified on Wednesday.
While the Russian interference in the 2016 campaign has been known for months, it was the first time U.S. officials have said how many states' electoral systems were targeted.
Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee, the officials said none of the digital intrusions affected the parts of electoral systems that counted votes -- but that they expect Russia to keep trying.

__________________From USA Today____________________
Donald Trump won the 2016 election — and it wasn’t because of the Russians. After more than a year of extensive investigations, there is not one iota of evidence the election results were hacked or otherwise successfully manipulated by the Russians or anyone else.
One week after the election, Jeh Johnson, President Obama’s secretary of Homeland Security, admitted that our election system had not been hacked and that no ballot counts had been changed.
Recently, the Department of Homeland Security had to retract a claim that Russian hackers had gone after voter-registration systems in places such as California and Wisconsin after they said their systems hadn’t been targeted.
For all of the supposed claims of “collusion” that we’ve heard, no credible evidence of it has been produced, despite all of the resources (and intelligence leaks) devoted to trying to prove it.
The latest claim is that a Russian company bought $100,000 in Internet pop-up ads. Most of the ads didn’t refer to the candidates but focused on social issues, according to The New York Times.
Donald Trump spent about half as much on his presidential campaign as Hillary Clinton, who raised almost $600 million, and still won despite all her negative ads. Yet we’re supposed to believe that $100,000 in ads, mostly on issues, somehow brainwashed Americans into voting a particular way?
What the purveyors of this conspiracy theory don’t want to admit is that Donald Trump’s victory, as well as that of other Republicans, aligns with political trends during the Obama presidency.
Under Obama, the Democratic Party lost more congressional, state legislative and governor’s seats than under any other president. The party is the weakest it has been since the 1920s in the number of political seats it holds nationwide.
Without question, we should be on our guard against foreign actors trying to intervene in our elections. But so far, there is no proof that Russian efforts made any difference in 2016.

Hey Daffy here's an article from the New York Times that you might find enlightening;

So it is your belief that the directly targeted social media campaign didn't cause one person to stay away from the polls?
The black voter turnout rate declined for the first time in 20 years in a presidential election, falling to 59.6% in 2016

Here's an example of your benefits to me -- the pharmacy just called to say my rescue inhaler prescription is ready. List price is about $422. Anybody can print out a GoodRX coupon to discount that to $331. The Medicare Part D price is $44.
I'm the smartest person with whom you have ever had a long conversation.
Change my mind.
And even better - with my new AARP MedicareComplete insured by UnitedHealthCare and provided through Sharp Rees Stealy Rancho Bernardo (located where the RB Hooters used to be) I pay about $25/month, which would be $0 if I had signed up for Part D when I started Medicare 7 years ago.
Where's The Riddler today? We need amusement!
The signs all say Iran, but I don't see what they gain from it, other than a Kim-like demonstration of capability. Of course, the Iranian government has a history of lack of control of radical elements in their culture dating back at least to when the CIA funded some of them to put the Shah on the Peacock Throne. Maybe there is some internal group that is getting impatient and wants to start something NOW!
Or maybe it is t playing tail wagging the dog?
Or maybe it is lefty-liberal-commie group trying to make it look like t is playing tail wagging the dog?
Which Riddler screenplay is most appealing?

Maybe there are attacks, maybe not. Maybe it's Iran, could be US intelligence. Who knows?
