(9,213 posts)and things definitely look fishy. Mostly in the counties that Trump won, in each of those counties Trump saw a DOUBLE DIGIT % increase over the number of votes that Romney got in 2012, while Clinton got a double digit % decrease from the number votes that Obama got in these counties.
Couple this with the fact that in some counties trump had vote totals that were more than 100% more than the amount of registered voters in that county, while Clinton's number of votes compared to that of Dem registered voters decreased significantly.
Nothing can be taken from this correlation directly, except that Clinton was polling well across the state so the likelihood of 20% of voters switching and voting across party lines in the last week is certainly unprecedented. It looks more alarming on the spreadsheet graphic but I am unable to upload it from work here.
Anybody else have any ideas for things to look in to? I'm sure there are plenty of analysts here at DU and you never know when you are going to find that needle in the haystack that everyone else is overlooking.
