2016 Postmortem

How can there be these exceptional turnout numbers and Trump getting only 1,000 more votes than Romney. I then focused on two Counties: Milwaukee then Waukesha. (From the charts.
Clinton Trump Total Obama Romney Total
288,986 126,091 415,077 332,438 154,924 487,362
79,199 142,519 221,718 78,779 162,798 241,577

These numbers would not include any 3rd party candidates.

Milwaukee - Clinton/Trump down 72,285 from Obama/Romney
Waukesha - Clinton/Trump down 19,859 from Obama/Romney
Total 2-county Clinton/Trump down 92,144 from Obama/Romney

Total ballots cast Milwaukee 444,108 minus 415,077 equal 29,031
Total ballots cast Waukesha 233,269 minus 221,718 equal 11,551

Does 29,031 sound reasonable for 3rd party + over + under for Milwaukee or are there some uncounted ballots there, possibly provisional.

The Clinton/Trump total down from Obama/Romney could point to how successful Voter ID suppression really was in these two largest Counties. Trump was down by 49,112 but was up by 50,000 in the other 70 Counties combined. Clinton was down by 43,032 from Obama so she came out of here 6,000 votes to the good. Statistically speaking there are some anomalies' here.
