In reply to the discussion: This miiiiiiiiiiight be a problem for the GOP. [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)37. Trump "won" because of Russia. That's so clear to me. Not voter suppression.
Voter suppression will be key in 2020, though. They've been working on it already.
I believe the age group that voted most for Trump is middle aged. They will still be around in 3 years, and they are reliable voters.
The 60+ crowd is most reliable voting group.
Then it's the 45-59 age group.
Then it's the 30-44 age group. Third largest voter turnout.
And there are a lot of middle aged and older people. Baby boomers. They are very reliable voters.

Plus a voting system which is not secure. So much for living in a "democracy."

It was Russia. I believe they hacked a few districts in just a few key states that were close.

That's the age group with the lowest turnout, though. 60+ has biggest turnout.
