The bit about voting for taller people seems misplaced. There seems to be a strong suggestion of causality, but all there's evidence for is statistical connection.

> There’s not much doubt that some voters were influenced by the disparity in height... But serious statistical analysis concludes that taller presidential candidates are more likely to win the election, more likely to win re-election, and more likely — unlike Donald Trump — to win the popular vote.

Seems like a stretch. One of those things where predictive analytics would dump out "height diff" as a useful factor in naively predicting who the winner will be, but the real cause is something deeper.
