low voter turnout

But turnout was up from 2012.

She lost, in the immediate sense, because undecided middle/upper-middle class whites in Rust Belt states broke for Trump. And that was a result of a lot of different things, certainly to some extent a result of the Comey stuff, and racism was a major part of it, and for a bunch of reasons Clinton hadn't been able to put the campaign out of reach which she probably should have been able to do.

Of course, you can always say that turnout could still have been higher and she would have won if more people had voted for her, you can say that in any election, and that's true in some sense, but the immediate reason was Rust Belt undecideds somehow convinced themselves Trump was more presidential.
