Explanation:

• "I know almost everyone I talked to voted for her" is anecdotal evidence (personal stories/experiences).
• "Noted pollster Nate Silver reported..." is expert opinion (from a recognized expert in polling).
• "Clinton got 2,865,075 more votes..." is a statistic (numerical data on votes). So the evidence includes anecdotal evidence, expert opinion, and statistics (or facts from the vote count). The first option lists facts and statistics (the vote count is a fact/statistic), anecdotal evidence (personal voting stories), and expert opinion (Nate Silver’s report), which matches the types of evidence used.

Answer:

A. facts and statistics, anecdotal evidence, and expert opinion
