So, you need a situation where you need 1 million more people to show up to vote, and to vote for Hillary, and to make sure nobody shows up and votes for Trump? That's not very close.
800,000 votes is pretty close when there were 15.1 million registered voters. People just need to stop making excuses and go vote!
If the apathy wasn't there, it would be easier to get people to the polls that are open for 2 weeks, the second of which polls are required to be open at least 12 hours.
I'm afraid that we might get Trump and Cruz again with this election, given the similar apathy this year.
