I dont buy this Bradley effect.

There is too much anecdotal evidence showing that Hillary was bringing in out of staters to vote.

NH is a liberal state, so whites there would be more honest in voting for a black candidate

I think what we have here is the “Hillary Effect”....media refusing to call Hillary a cheater

You are making a bad assumption that liberals aren't racists. The fact is, liberals are the biggest racists there are.

"NH is a liberal state"

How it pains me to read that. But, unfortunately, I have to say that this once great state of mine is now no longer great and I can not refute those words.

I don't think this is true at all.

I once had a black guy who grew up in Alabama in the bad old pre-Civil Rights days tell me that white liberals in the Northeast are more racist than anyone from his home town.

Totally anecdotal but I’ve lived up here for three years and I have to agree with the Bradley effect explanation
I liken the soft racism up here with a term I heard back in the 80’s “Massachusetts Democrat”. They’re all for that equal rights business and that busing thing, as long as it’s somewhere else and not in their state. Up here, they like things the way they’ve always been and the last thing they want is a change. I would think that the transplants inhabited the areas that went for Obama (portsmouth, Exeter, Durham, Manchester) and the natives voted for the nice white girl that promised us stuff.

People don’t run around screaming racial epithets at minorities but they also don’t go out of their way to encourage racial diversity either. I can’t judge what lies in people’s hearts but their actions speak volumes. A few members of my homeowners association were concerned that I would sell my house to “those people that would lower property value”..

I don;’t think she could have brought in enough out-of-staters, AND convinced them to essentially lie, to make an 11-percent shift. I would say that even if you were serious about cheating, doing it with more than a couple hundred people would risk being caught.

If she brought even 2000 voters in, she would have to have done enough advertising that SOMEBODY who supported Obama would have gotten the “word” and leaked it, and somebody who actually VOTED would have bragged about it.

So while it’s an interesting theory, it doesn’t seem practical in actuality.
