Interminable analysis of electoral votes continues
My new magic formula for a Democratic win:
The eastern corridor, the western corridor, and the lake states = 270
Eastern corridor: Maine to Virginia (including the somewhat-shaky PA and VA), 125 votes
Lakes: Illinois and its satellites: MN, WI, MI and somewhat-shaky IA, 62 votes
Western corridor: CA to WA, HI = 78 votes
add Nevada to western corridor = 6 votes = 271
Add New Mexico to western corridor, and subtract IA from Lakes = 270.
Note that Trump's unpopularity with hispanics practically guarantees a Hillary win in Nevada and New Mexico.
