devotee-kiwi:nunyabizni:friendly-neighborhood-patriarch:Dead Rising Mail in made it easy for the people that normally can’t be bothered to spend 30 seconds to remove the scary orange man and replace him with a legitimate racist And also this is just… maybe more people in already statistically blue areas voted more than in 2012?I know this is relatively anecdotal but through ONLY 2020 early voting, my county reached 2/3rds of how many people voted TOTAL in 2016 (both by early voting and by election day). At the end, our numbers this year far exceeded our numbers in 2016. My county is almost always blue and we had more votes in 2016 than in 2012, I should note. And if my county did this, I’m sure this was a common occurrence elsewhere.As for how Biden managed to win despite his loss in county wins… well, Obama won in 2012 by a larger margin than Biden did this year. Obama had 332 electoral votes, Biden only 306(?). So yeah, he loss counties, and in turn, got less electoral votes.Also stop delegitimizing Trump’s critics as just calling him “scary orange man.” It’s lazy.Mail-in also was essential because of many people not wanting to be exposed to COVID. I have a severely immuno-compromised family member, he cannot risk being exposed to COVID or he WILL die. Mail-in was crucial for him being able to vote this year. And he voted Trump.This is scraping at the bottom of the conspiracy barrel. More people in general voted this election because everyone thought it was really important. Under 60% of eligible votes cast a ballot in 2016. Over 80% voted in 2020.Also, the US population grows by about two million people *every year.* So we should expect rising vote numbers.Focusing on counties is misdirection. “Lies, damned lies, and statistics”@friendly-neighborhood-patriarch Did you suffer traumatic brain injury or something while I was gone? Why are you supporting such transparent bullshit? -- source link
