here is a large drill-down I did on another thread regarding that (Indiana is included)

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=76336

Because I put NC and Indiana together in that post

here is the number just for IN

95,870 (you will see what I mean when you read that post)

And that 95,870 is giving absolute max impact to the whole Operation Chaos theory possible, as I took 10% of the total combined vote for Obama and Hillary and then gave 75% to Hillary, whereas in PA the reverse happened (the Republican to Democrat switchers) broke 2 to 1 to Obama, not Hillary, even with Operation Chaos in full effect.

I also wanted to (in that post at the link) state the highest possible impact (so I attribute EVERY single one of the Repug to Democratic switchers who voted for Hillary as being driven by the Operation Chaos theory, when clearly they ALL were not), just to show that the impact was much much smaller in the overall election than either Limbaugh claimed or some want to say.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
