I just really want to know how many estimated ppl voted for each candidate in each state. Couldn't they just extrapolate that based on search/browsing history (IE. if someone visited BreitBart, they're probably voting for Trump, if someone visited 538, most likely Clinton)


I would think that's extremely unreliable. If it was true, it would be really bad. I want to know what Trump and Clinton are saying regardless of who I vote for. I visit BreitBart but voted for relatively few Republicans. I think one of the main problems with our political process is that our news feeds are turning into echo chambers, polarizing everyone who doesn't go out of their way to really think critically and expand their horizons.
