In a law implemented last year, Georgia's 'Exact Match' requirement flags voters who have discrepancies in their official identifying documents and may be non-citizens.
As originally written, at the actual polling location, only Deputy Registrars could immediately clear individuals to vote (provisional ballots could still be cast). This was deemed burdensome in U.S. District Court and now Poll Managers can also clear individuals to vote who show proof of citizenship.
The announcement of this change is here: http://sos.ga.gov/index.php/general/judge_includes_poll_managers_in_georgias_existing_non-citizen_verification_process_
Voters were notified in advance of discrepancies and multiple avenues to resolve the issue are available, including:
- in advance by faxing or emailing documents to the county registrar
- when balloting, providing documentation to a Deputy Registrar (or Poll Manager now)
- If the above are an issue, an individual can cast a provisional ballot and provide the proof of citizenship (in person, via fax, email, or text message) before Friday.

Clinton did her best to campaign for extra votes in places it didn't matter -- she could have taken a shit on the sidewalk with the stars embedded it in at won CA -- and ignored states that mattered. The EC is no secret and if a candidate can't use it for guidance, that tells us a lot about the candidate.
And let us also recall that Clinton too only won a plurality. Her plurality was larger than Trump's in ways that are irrelevant, but neither candidate got a majority. In other words, it is true to say the majority of Americans did not vote for Clinton and the majority did not vote for Trump.
Lastly, I voted for Stein -- clearly I'm not a Republican. And while usually I'm satisfied with protest voting, Democrats have demonstrated that they are dangerous -- as in nuclear war dangerous in order to avoid taking responsibility for running a shit candidate -- so I was not content simply to not support them, I felt the need to actively vote against them. You can chide me for being against nuclear war all you want, but I see that issue as trumping all other issues. Bathroom freedom just doesn't matter when all the bathrooms are vaporized along with all the people.

I did a little research and found that Clinton's work history was eerily similar to James Buchanan, the president historians say caused the Civil War and was history's worst American president. So she might have even been worse than Trump! Bad news, I just saw she's running again in 2020. I think her winning the 2020 primary would be the only thing that would get Trump reelected.
