Whither The Electoral College

++Blogger "Sem Dem" at the dailykos does an electoral vote review. He has Hillary Clinton winning 381 electoral votes and rising.

++While Hillary Clinton leads every national poll in a head-to head with Trump,it is the electoral vote that is most impressive. SemDem writes that Hillary will win the popular vote convincingly but will also turn many "Red" States "Blue". 

++It may seem strange to read that battleground states now include Mississippi,Utah and Arizona. Clinton leads in Georgie also.  Kentucky,Arkansas,Texas haven't been polled lately.

++Florida-loving Trump loses that state's Hispanic vote 69%-18%. Remember the ERNC projected after the 2012 election that the GOP needed 40% of the Hispanic vote to win. Nationally,Trump's Hispanic support ranges from 11%-18%. 

++The Democrats are projected to take Florida, California,New York, Pennsylvania,Ohio and Michigan. The Democrats sweep the Northeast,the Midwest,the Pacific Coast,and do well in Nevada,New Mexico,Arizona, Colorado. 

++Josh Marshall reminds us that the GOP has put into place significant voter suppression laws that the courts have approved in Texas, North Carolina,Wisconsin and other states. 

++Caveat Emptor. The GOP will make one last attempt to grab the brass ring on #Benghazi! and Hillary's emails.
