1. The OH cancelation makes sense as he was always significantly ahead there. Not so in FL and NC.

Clinton was very strong is early voting in both FL and NC; and polling was close enough to expect advertising expenditures from both campaigns in the two states. The cancelation of ad buys in those states is certainly strange, given the close final result and what we learned from the latest indictments from Mueller.

I always found it curious that he quit paying his internal pollsters around that time, too.

Like, he didn’t need them anymore, so why pay?
