    This whole thing is silly. I find it fascinating that nobody knows the true numbers. You posted this pic of the screens showing him speaking. Did you notice the people still moving into the area?

    These people had to get through security right?

    If they are still coming into the picture how is this proof of the number of people there?

    Look around the edges of the photo. Where is this supposed crush of people trying to get through security?

    When they passed the motor voter law in California, it was referred to as one car, one vote.

    This is a newer version of the law. The original was in the 1980s

    And I agree he better come up with something legit.

    I don't even know where security is, I doubt it is right in that picture.

    Then post a picture that shows when everyone did get through security. I'm looking and I'm not finding any. If there are any others from that same or very similar vantage point that shows more people I would love to see them.

    Your photos show no timestamp. They do show 3 large screens with images that don't match. Must be made in America projectors from 30 years ago.

    I'll grant that it's possible, but Sly had a picture above that was even farther pulled back and there just nothing in frame to suggest some massive backup at a checkpoint. Also it stands to reason that there would have been more than one point of entry. Who knows?

    Denny said the comparison was dishonest.

    I'm trying to figure out what exactly is dishonest about it. I even went and found much higher resolution versions of the picture. I'm not the one coming up with JFK conspiracy theories, you and Denny are. I'm just posting pictures.

    Do you have something from the same vantage point that shows a larger crowd?

    Pictures with nothing to compare each other with other than the vantage point of the camera. Go to a Laker game and take a photo of the crowd at tipoff. Check back in the third quarter.

    The vantage point is fine. The two photos are from nearly the same point and one clearly has more people in it. Not disputing it.The photos Denny posted were from basically the same vantage point and showed something different.

    I wasn't there and I'm actually curious as to why there would be so much open space in areas much closer to the front.

    Again, if you have pictures from the same or very similar vantage point that shows a larger crowd I would love to see them.

    What trolling? I found other pics from the exact same vantage point you said was dishonest. Do you have pictures from the same vantage point that shows dishonesty? A larger crowd? Anything?

    The whole thing is as I mentioned, silly. They don't do estimates since the million man march. I guarantee you that if Hillary had won there would have been no empty space anywhere. People will come from all over for the first woman president.

    Good point. After Trump's speech didn't show any signs of hope, a lot of the crowd probably left.
