7. What evidence do they have for the claim that the early voting should make it

mathematically impossible for Trump to have won?

Here's an article from Politico that said on Nov 5th, voters registered as Democrats had an edge 7,280 early voters compared to 104,000 in 2012. If you're claiming that 7,280 is an insurmountable edge, that's laughable.

Here's one from the next day showing Democrats had a 33,000 edge in registration among early voters. Again it notes the substantial difference in percentage from 2012 to 2016.
