  > Did you know that only 27000 votes being different (in the right states) in 2016 could have changed the election result? Apparently the Democrat candidate didn't know that in 2016. They campaigned in California even had a few rallies there but forgot about Wisconsin. Some might argue the Russians hacked her agenda to divert her plane away :-) One a serious note, it seems candidates knowing the fact, and using their resources wisely, means they would stop their effort in a state once they can be reasonably sure they'd get enough votes. So in general, I imagine it might not be that uncommon to see small differences. Another way to put it, a small spread in one state could be a random coin flip. But a lot of random coin flips (multiple states) landing on heads, starts to look less random.
