They knew they had it in a bag, but God did something.
I live in Brooklyn, haven for hipsters & minorities. On Election Day I had expected crowds & long lines at the voting place.
Instead it was like a ghost town. No one was there; I was in & out of the booth in no time.
I assumed these people didn't bother voting for Hillary because 1) she wasn't black and 2) they were still p-d off over Sanders. In any case, they just considered it pointless. Conservatives are far more civic-minded; they will go through Hurricanes Harvey & Irma combined to enter a ballot.
It will be interesting to see the voting place come 2018 or 2020 -- especially the latter. Every purpled-haired weirdo will come out of the woodwork, along with blacks, Hispanics, etc. Probably there will be fights; white or conservative-looking people will be harassed or intimidated.
And there was no way she was going to lose New York, so extra Hillary votes wouldn't count.
She did about as well as Obama did in 2012. If she lost votes where you live, she picked up votes in some suburbs.
Things will be about the same in 2020, IMO.
