I thought this was an interesting take on that subject. Someone figured out the least number of counties you could completely remove from the vote total to change the election results. (Ignore Alaska, that's just a comment about a mistake in a previous chart's data.)

Cool chart. Exposes more Trump lies about the election. Doesn't change anything though.
 
Re: SCOTUS 10: Pack the Court!

Nice map.

Eff McComb County Michigan, Brevard County Florida, and Lee County Florida.

Just to be clear, in this map the red and blue counties on the map represent two different things so aren't directly comparable.

The blue are 3 counties where Clinton's margins were so high, they accounted for the entire difference (plus a little bit) in the national popular vote. The vote total outside of those counties was all but a complete wash. (VERY slightly in Trump's favor)

The red counties are not representative of large Trump margins, (obviously we could draw a circle around other populations where Trump did have big margins) but rather are the three counties where the total margins were just enough to swing the respective state's (FL-29EV & MI-16EV) electoral votes to Trump, and with that, the electoral college win. Clinton lost 306-232. Without those three red counties, she would have won 277 -261.

*I just noticed I duffed the math on the Lee County total voters.


Yep, I gleemed that from the chart. I just found it interesting how so few people in three counties swung the election. 176,862 spread over three counties.

And people say their vote doesn't matter...
 
Re: SCOTUS 10: Pack the Court!

Ugh. I live in Brevard County. Must resist urge to skewer 181,620 of my neighbors...

This is...not good

Mr. Trump was apparently referring to Justice Kennedy’s son, Justin. The younger Mr. Kennedy spent more than a decade at Deutsche Bank, eventually rising to become the bank’s global head of real estate capital markets, and he worked closely with Mr. Trump when he was a real estate developer, according to two people with knowledge of his role.

During Mr. Kennedy’s tenure, Deutsche Bank became Mr. Trump’s most important lender, dispensing well over $1 billion in loans to him for the renovation and construction of skyscrapers in New York and Chicago at a time other mainstream banks were wary of doing business with him because of his troubled business history.

There were no direct efforts to pressure or lobby Justice Kennedy to announce his resignation on Wednesday, and it was hardly the first time a president had done his best to create a court opening. “In the past half-century, presidents have repeatedly been dying to take advantage of timely vacancies,” said Laura Kalman, a historian at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

They're sniffing for a story where none exists, unless there was a bribe involved, which there's no way Kennedy would risk entangling himself in that.

Now if you're just snarking about His Drain The Swampiness getting caught playing politics as usual, I'm with you there. :cool:

Well, there is this-

Justin Kennedy, a trader who arrived from Goldman to become one of Mr Trump’s most trusted associates over a 12-year spell at Deutsche, is the son of a Supreme Court justice.
