		rayiner on Nov 9, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Donald Trump Is Elected President Note that the last chart ("Clinton’s support from minorities fell short") seems to be erroneous, in that the graphic does not match the text. I think the NYT article glosses over the real story this election: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/11/09/why-the-lat... ("Hispanic voters were supposed to be one of Clinton’s blue firewalls—but one in three ended up splitting for Trump.")

That was projected, though. It was a big issue that Clinton wasn't driving as significant African American turnout because they go 95% Democrat, whereas Hispanics were about 70% Democrat so you'd need a lot more of them to make up the difference.
