That's what happened in 2016 for Trump to win: Republican voter suppression.
Obama won 2008 and 2012 specifically because he ran a massive voter RE-registration and registration campaign. Using ACORN in 2007-8 in particular. By 2012, ACORN had been destroyed by Republican lies, with Democrats voting to defund ACORN along with Republicans.
About ACORN?
ACORN's Fall

The Obama administration, seeking to distance its onetime community-organizer president from ACORN, declined to defend the organization, and the private foundations that provided much of ACORN's funding largely followed the government's lead.
Democrats in Congress voted with Republicans to destroy ACORN, based on Republican LIES.
Betrayed by Democrats. Democrats lost their only tool that could counter Republican voter suppression. A method Republicans have been using to win since 2000, especially.
FLORIDA 2000
300,000 voters disenfranchised by Kathleen Harris who was later rewarded with a Congressional seat. Another 300,000 Clinton voters who went to Bush.
And a Supreme Court that is now solidly Right Wing Partisan.
Republicans once again outmaneuvered Obama and Democrats regarding The Supreme Court.

The Republican Party is at its most powerful now, since being founded in 1856.
Since 2000, Republican voter suppression has been instrumental in Republican victories.
Republicans have now explored using House districts at the State level to apportion Electoral College votes.
Republicans now control The Supreme Court with a solid Right Wing partisan judiciary at all levels of The Federal level. This control allows The Supreme Court and other Federal courts to strike down any challenge to Republican gerrymandering, voter suppression efforts, and laws that Republicans do not like.
Democratic Party leadership - corporate and worshiping at the alter of Reagan - have been the key part of Republican victories as they seek to become the moderate Right Party of America, as Republicans become The Far Right Party.
TacitBlue sammy cohen • 2 months ago I'm f***ing tired of Corporate Democratic MIS-Leadership especailly after this bullsh*t from Republican-lite Chuckie Shroomer:“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.”Traditional Democratic voters, need not apply to The (New) Democratic Party of Reagan/Goldwater/Eisenhower. Less Eisenhower, more Goldwater and Reagan.Steve Israel, who led the strategy that resulted in the 2010-2014 losses is still a top party strategist and is (D-NY). Failure... REWARDED.Democratic strategists are still trying to woo Republican voters, as outlined by Schumer, for quite some time. The results are IN:LOSING.Democrats may take the House this year? They'll repeat 2010 and 2014.Guaranteed.I'D VOTE REPUBLICAN IF I WANTED A CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN; NOT DEMOCRATIC PRETENDING NOT TO BE A CONSERVATIVE.
