2. The system selected Pennsylvania as an important target.
Apparently it wasn't the choice of PA as an "important" target, but overfit of its importance to that of other key states (e.g. in the rust belt) which may have been at fault. Like the article says:
But it appears that the importance of other states Clinton would lose — including Michigan and Wisconsin — never became fully apparent or that it was too late once it did.
- elevensies 10y agoLooking at the results, I can agree that focusing on Michigan would have been more optimal, but to win I think she needed MI+WI+PA, so if she overfocused on PA and still didn't take it, broadening her effort may have lessened her loss but I don't think it would have been a path to victory.
