    3 million more people voted for Clinton than Trump.

    The counties that Clinton won in were inherently harder to vote in... Especially after the Supreme Court rolled back key elements in the Voter Rights Act...

    If you were in a county that went for Hillary there is no doubt you had to wait in line a longer than if you were in a county for Trump.

    plus that effect was exacerbated by record high turnout in those counties
    because the clinton campaign did a good job driving up turnout and running up the score in key population centers
    just not enough
    voting restrictions are unequivocally bad

    Kon is dismissing people who are protesting as being too lazy to have voted in the first place, who probably waited in line to vote for 5 hours for their candidate to recieve 3 million more votes than her opponent and lose.

    Well since almost half of eligible voters didn't vote, yes I think it's fair to assume that many of the protesters didn't vote most likely cuz they assumed Hillary had it won as I already said. Not saying half of all protesters didn't vote, but gotta think even if it's 20 or 30% that's still a large number.

    Wasn't only talking about the protesters in my more recent posts though.
