19. Hillary Clinton

Tue Nov 6, 2018, 09:02 AM

Nov 2018

Any chance this is one of the reasons Hillary Clinton lost Michigan in 2016. I thought there were voting problems in Detroit in 2016. How many people left the polls and then did not make it back before the polls closed? How many people had to go to work and could not get back to the polls before the polls closed?
