I read an article by someone from inside her campaign: she believed it was impossible to loose the electoral college but there was a possibility she could loose the popular vote.
she didn't want that to dog her after she took the presidency, so she diverted resources to the population centers to jazz up the popular vote
- specialist 9y agoI'm sure you're correct about juicing the popular vote. (I haven't finished "What Happened" yet, for HRC's own account. I'd appreciate a link for that insider account, if you still have it.) But there's also a coat tails factor. Many left wing voters are "1:4", only voting one out of every four general elections (for president). So its expected of the presidential campaign, as the nominal head of the party, to juice turnout to help down ballot races.
