The biggest obstacle to a Hillary Clinton victory in November is insuring high turnout by African Americans, Latino and Hispanic Americans, young women, college educated men and women, and millennials.
An election requires motivation by voters to come out and vote, and get their friends and family to do so, as well.
Hillary lacks the excitement of Barack Obama, and the charisma of her husband, Bill Clinton, but she is far better qualified than either of them to be President.
So she must work to get people to vote for her as the most equipped of the four candidates—herself, Donald Trump, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein– to be our 45th President.
Additionally, Georgia Congressman John Lewis has called for federal oversight to insure that states that have attempted to promote voter restrictions are prevented from denying people their right to vote, as that could dramatically affect voter turnout as well.
Turnout and federal oversight in states with voting restrictions are crucial, as we cannot allow Donald Trump to become our President, as that would be a never ending nightmare!
Low turnout is what I’m fearing. When Gary Johnson is included in the polling, millennial voters are flocking to him. I’m astonished, frankly, that any progressive and/or Democrat would vote for Gary Johnson, given his climate science denial and other extreme, far-right stands regarding government.
Another interesting finding is that only a minority of Trump and Clinton voters are supporting their candidate mainly because the voters LIKE their candidate. Instead, they’re either voting for Trump or Clinton because of party loyalty or out of opposition to the other candidate.
Some local polling for our neck of the woods shows that more people are concerned with terrorism and the national debt than the threat of climate change.
