IT IS UNLIKELY THAT WILL
HAPPEN.

THIS IS VERY COMPLICATED THIS
YEAR. +@
YEAR. +@
YEAR. +@ MORE PEOPLE THAN EVER VOTED BY

BALLOTS CAST AS POLLING PLACES.
HERE IS ISSUE WE HAVE BEEN

BATTLEGROUND STATES SUCH AS
MICHIGAN,
MICHIGAN,
MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA AND WISCONSIN.

BUT FLASHING BACK TO 20+@16, THERE
WAS A +@DIFFERENCE OF MORE THAN
807,000 VOTES.
807,000 VOTES. HILLARY CLINTON DID VERY WELL
IN DALLAS COUNTY,
BUT TRUMP DOES WELL IN THE
RURAL TEXAN COUNTIES.
BUT POLI+@TICAL EXPERTS SAY THE
LANDSCAPE OF T+@EXAS HAS
DRAMATICALLY CHANGED AND,
WELL, THIS IS A CHANCE THAT
TEXAS COULD CHANGE BLUE.
