    Perhaps polls have always been wrong in the sense that they ignored a large segment of voters, but now this wrongness is becoming more visible because this segment's vote is less evenly split between parties.

        2016 had relatively normal voter turnout. This time was high though. Polls were off both times. I think Paul may be onto something.

        Of course. I believe the Trafalgar Group has been accused of this.

        Hi Paul, really curious if you any thoughts on issues with Dominion Voting Systems? How can ordinary citizen trust the integrity of the votes? Could blockchain help in the future?

        Consider the flip side: almost all voters chose to ignore the pollsters. If a certain segment of the electorate ignored pollsters at a slightly higher rate...https://twitter.com/markrhill/status/1324318066906406913 …

        Perhaps Trump supporters were purposely deceiving the pollsters.

        Systematic issues are everywhere and apparent to those affected by it, invisible to those that benefit from it.

        I can’t ignore the fact that 70+ million Americans voted for Trump. The rhetoric of racism is BS. These folks voted to give the 🖕 to the political establishment for shipping jobs to China and wars in the Middle East. Let’s solve for those issues.

        They fell for a conman while being inundated with disinformation about his opponent. You can make anyone electable if you make their opponent seem worse. It's as simple as that. We'll elect the end of the US, if we haven't already, if we can't make people better users of info.
