Big ol’ asterisk on the 2020 election, though:
- Covid
- Wide action to change voting to get around Covid
- Wide belief among Republicans that Covid wasn’t real
- Ergo, wide movement against changing elections around Covid
For these reasons alone, using any election map like this from 2020 is outside any norm. What about the 2016 or 2012 map? It may look similar, but won’t be nearly as drastic.
For the record, covid was a real disease, but completely overblown. The measures were mostly not helpful, and targeted small businesses.
My father died due to somebody else believing the same, ignoring the guidelines, and spreading Covid to him.
So kindly shut the fuck up, yeah?
My grandpa also died. Stage four lung cancer, but he spent the last year of his life locked up in a nursing home. Funnily enough, he had his first shot, but not the second.
As someone who voted blue, part of my motivation to not do it on election day was to avoid being harassed by Trump’s poll
watchersintimidators.I can’t say whether the conclusion you’ve drawn from the maps is right or wrong. But I can say that the analysis is probably incomplete. Because does that pattern hold out in other elections too?
How are states with mail in voting counted? We don’t vote at a polling station (and it’s glorious) on Election Day. We typically vote well before hand. They just get counted on Election Day.
