As we all know, in 2016 Clinton beat Trump in the popular vote by roughly 2.87 million votes. Commentary tends to focus on the 70,000 votes more or less by which Trump won three Midwestern states. What is less often talked about is the fact that Clinton took California by 4.27 million votes, which means that outside of California Clinton lost the popular vote to Trump by 1.4 million votes.
It is a depressing fact that this is a much more right wing country than those of us in the left-wing bubble tend to recognize.

Polls may not accurately portray the amount of suppression and state-sanctioned interference that will take place
