(1,021 posts)Only thing I can think of that might address the discrepancy. It's really weird. NY Times had a different number earlier as well.

(975 posts)She received about 20k less votes in 2016 as she received in 2008. And that's with only 2 candidates this cycle instead of the 3 from 2008.
She should have picked up some of Edwards voters but she didn't. Worse yet, she lost some of her own instead.
There was about 15k less voters this year but still, if Clinton was as strong as everyone claims she wouldn't have lost 20k votes.
