The letter takes aim at Trump's willingness to stoke racial anxieties and his lack of policy proposals. This is not much of a surprise; earlier analyses suggested that campaign donations from the tech industry were largely flowing toward the Democratic Party over the GOP. Clinton and Trump are now roughly tied among registered voters, according to a New York Times/CBS poll released Thursday.
