Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Have they? Oh WAIT I wrote about them. When everyone else was LALALALALALA. I'm happy to see pieces that specifically address that issue.

      I'm not following you. You seem to be saying the demographics don't explain it, which is why you wrote they did?

      You said it had been written about (by other people than me). I'm happy to read that argument if it has actually been made.

      In tweet you said why VA responded differently to Comey letter than MI "been written abt quite a bit." Got links?https://twitter.com/DanaHoule/status/908370373615472641 …

      They do. Been written about quite a bit. That you think these are some crazy explanations is kinda weird.

      So no. No, lots hasn't been written about differential response to Comey letter in MI v VA?

      VA has easier early voting, especially for NOVA

      Replying to @EricHeggie @DanaHoule and

      Yup. But still very different response in late deciders. And it goes opposite way you'd think if Comey were all important.

      Also Comey was a herring to non low info voters. I feel only low info voters saw it as a real issue. NoVA most informed part of country

      Again, I know very few clearance holders who feel that way. Bc they know how they'd be treated in similar circumstances.

          I have heard that, but most I know knew he letter to congress was just a procedural circus show. Didn't see it as a real new thing.

          Also non IC Indies in NoVA swung hard against trump. Like absurdly so in some places. Was purely him. Look at Comstock district.

          Now there's a very different argument to explain differential late votes than "it was Comey." One I find more persuasive, actually.

          Of course that may be a differential where the little-to-no ads in WI and MI mattered (or the shitty-ass ineffective one w/no policy).

          If PA was gone, MI/WI stop mattering. They threw a lot at PA. Didn't move ppl.

          True. Of course, PA is also where the ObamaCare premium increases highest, another late breaking thing Trump focused on.
