Check out the stats!
3 states determined the winner of the 2016 Presidential election: Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
--> Pres. Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes. There are about 275,000 Muslims in Michigan and CAIR estimated under 27,000 voted.
--> Pres. Trump won PA by 46,765 votes. There are about 128,000 Muslims in PA; CAIR estimated under 17,000 voted.
--> Pres. Trump won WI by 22,177 votes. There are about 59,000 Muslims in Wisconsin.
These states determined and sealed the outcome of the 2016 elections.
These populations do include children and residents/non-citizens. However, whichever way we each vote, whatever outcome we want, the answer to the question is clear — does the Muslim vote matter?
So then, does YOUR vote matter?
