“Clinton is gaining her edge in two key areas – some defections from Trump to Johnson among white Republican and independent voters and extremely strong support for her among Hispanics (68%),” Mason-Dixon pollster Brad Coker wrote in a memo for the poll of 625 likely voters.

I get them some publicity and I get their name on the ballot. Then, after the election, we count the votes, and if they don’t turn out right, we recount them again until they do”—Edward G.

Florida is still stuck on stupid.....They will probably elect Alan Grayson Senator too.
Lying bastards
The 3 pt spread stays the same with or without libertarian candidate in the mix.
