Prepare to be screamed at by salty players . Edit and prepare to have team mates that don ' t won ' t to cooperate <| sep |> It looks like a bunch of opinion with complicated math used to prove their point . I looked up early voting numbers for Florida and found this A total of 2 , 558 , 000 votes were cast by registered Democrats , and 2 , 471 , 000 votes were cast by registered Republicans . This translates into 39 . 85 percent of the vote going to the Democrats , and 38 . 49 percent of it going to the Republicans . In total , 49 . 7 percent of the state ' s entire population of registered voters have already voted . This turnout of 6 . 4 million voters is a significant increase compared to four years ago , when only 4 . 4 million votes were cast early . The Democrats hold a lead going into Election Day , but their lead is significantly smaller than it was four years ago . In 2012 , Democrats scored 43 percent of the early vote in Florida , and Republicans scored 40 percent . In the end , Barack Obama won Florida , but it was a tight race , with the president defeating Mitt Romney by a margin of just 0 . 88 percentage points . Now that also only shows Cast by registered Democrats So easily the numbers could be skewed either way but it shows a much different picture than the article which somehow uses math to make it seem like Hillary was ahead by insurmountable margins Various exit polls pointed to Hillary Clinton receiving as somewhere between 54 % and 59 % of the Florida early vote , That meant Trump would have had to have received somewhere between 59 % and 71 % of the election day voting in Florida in order to have caught up and tied the stateEarly voting numbersIn total , 49 . 7 percent of the state ' s entire population of registered voters have already voted .

Lets not forget that were dealing with large numbers and fancy math when all that matters is which districts Trump wins . So right off the bat dealing with the total vote number is going to provide a skewed result . presidentclintontrumpThis just explains the Florida part but the same logic can be used for any state . Math is confusing and can be used easily to manipulate an opinion . or used to win a vote when you don ' t have the majority of support . ohh sick burn take that electoral college .
