The Red Wave

[alfsauve]

Don't know the accuracy.  Will look for confirmation later, but I think it's pretty spot on.  Rep v Dem by county/parrish

Evidently the elite think the red on this map reflects the uneducated, low-information, deplorable, unwashed and degenerate garbage of people that make up the United States.  Wore red to vote, btw.  (Thankyou Gad Saad for the link to this map)

The change in California from 2020 is really amazing. Trump didn't win the state but the percentage of counties that did vote for him was WAY UP!

I think that happened in many states.   Obviously here in GA.

Election Percentages

I knew that last year, GA and the US as a whole had a participation rate of 66% which was an all time high, at least in the last 100 years or so.  With all that was riding on this election according to both sides.  With the push to get people to vote, the percentage actually FELL this election.  Somewhere in the 62% range. 

Of course Nevada still has Milton, locked away with his Red Swingline in the basement of the capital hand counting every single ballot one at a time while filling out TPS forms)

Don't you find that just amazing?  62%.  Less than 2020.   My precinct is pretty active with 88% of registered voters. 

A COUPLE OF THINGS

There are TWO different election participation numbers running around.  Most states report and the easiest to compute is the PERCENT of REGISTERED VOTERS.
However, there will always be a certain number of people on the rolls that shouldn't be.  Nothing nefarious, just a timing and data issue.   People die.  People relocate and it takes time to accumulate this data and enter it in the voter registration rolls.

SO:  The U of Florida's Election Lab measures voter participation based on ELIGABLE voters as a base.  They perform some hocus-pocus, black magic and statistical analysis to figure out what that number should be.  Basically it's the over 18 population minus non-citizens and felons.  They also count, for the numerator, all ballots submitted, while most states use the total number of votes for President.   Just thought you'd like to know why some numbers differ

Take a look at those little blue dots along the east coast, the west coast, in Minnesota, and in Illinois. Then look at the electoral map and see how much power those small, as compared to the entire state, areas have in controlling the entire nation.  Illinois is controlled by two counties - Cook and Lake (county between Chicago and Wisconsin on north end of Cook). The surrounding counties are also blue as you go through the burbs, but not near as heavy as those two that go nearly 70% blue. We live in Will County - Near Jolliet. I looked at our results, and Kennedy killed us. If all those who voted for Kennedy, 4,300, had voted Trump instead, Trump would have taken the county by a slim margin.

Basically, Chicago rules Illinois, Rochester and the Twin Cities rule Minnesota, Los Angeles and San Francisco rule California, Denver controls Colorado, and on it goes.

Now, we have TWO YEARS for President Trump* to use the mandate of backing by the People shown in his vote and the two houses of Congress, to make wise and strong moves. Like any time of healing, surgery and treatment, there will be pain and discomfort over a short period. But if done correctly and in a way that can't be undone easily, it will be well worth it.


*Once President, the title remains. Pretty cool being able to refer to the President Elect as President to rub it in the face of those who have pulled every trick available to them to keep him out.


Three years and eight months to get him for insurrection, and they still haven't brought charges. Colorado illegally attempting to keep him off the ballet with local charges. Convicted on bogus charges in NY for business valuations that those that the State claimed were harmed even said were normal practices and nobody was harmed. Convicted on bogus charge over a simple non-disclosure agreement that is used daily by organizations nationwide and standard billing practices. A failed assassination attempt failed by a small move and the grace of God. An assassination attempt stopped just prior to execution. An assassination attempt, murder by hire, executed by a foreign entity stopped.  How much more went on to stop this Presidency that we do not know.
